Abstract
A system design and integrated design process for a space launch vehicle were established based on system engineering. With the mission design results for a given payload weight and trajectory, it is possible to perform optimal design by integrating each unit such as propulsion, weight estimation, and aerodynamic force after analysis, during in the system design process. The program is finally configured to verify that the designed vehicle can perform its mission through 3-DOF trajectory optimization simulation. Genetic algorithms are used as the optimization method, and the optimal design results of the variables and parameters to be considered during design are presented.
