Abstract
Upper stage of the Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II(KSLV-II) uses a 7-tons class liquid rocket engine and is an open gas generator cycle with a turbopump supply method that uses kerosene/liquid oxygen as the propellant combination. This study first provided a brief overview of the design and development process of the upper stage engine. In addition, it introduced the solutions and results applied to some of the problems that occurred during the development process of the upper stage engine.
