초록

팽창기 사이클 엔진은 구조적 단순함으로 인한 높은 신뢰성과 낮은 제작 비용을 갖는 장점이 있지만, 제한된 추력을 갖는 특징으로 인해 발사체 상단부에 적용되어왔다. 발사체 상단에는 다양한 사이클의 엔진들이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 점차 미국, 유럽, 중국, 일본 등의 국가주도 발사체뿐만 아니라 블루오리진과 같은 사기업 발사체의 상단에도 팽창기 사이클 엔진이 적용되고 있다. 국내에서도 팽창기 사이클 엔진 개발 및 관련 연구가 시작되고 있다. 이에 팽창기 사이클에 대한 이해와 엔진 요구조건 설정에 도움이 되고자 현재 발사체에 적용 중이거나 적용을 목표로 개발 중인 팽창기 사이클 엔진들의 사례를 기술하였다.

The expander cycle engine has advantages of high reliability and low manufacturing cost due to its structural simplicity, but has been applied to the upper stage of launch vehicles due to its limited thrust capability. Engines of various cycles are used in the upper stages of launch vehicles. However, the expander cycle engine is gradually being applied to the upper stage of not only government-led vehicles in the United States, Europe, China, and Japan, but also private vehicles such as Blue Origin. Development of an expander cycle engine and related research are beginning in Korea. To help understand the expander cycle and set engine requirements, examples of expander cycle engines currently being applied to launch vehicles or being developed for application are described.
