Abstract
Propulsion system of launch vehicle is composed with subsystems as propellant tank, pressurization system, propellant fill/drain system, valve operating system, purge system and so on. Among others, pressurization system is the most important subsystem, because of the real-time control part for pressure control of propellant tank. Therefore, it is the subsystem that must be primarily considered on conceptual design process. In this paper, the data of the previously developed pressurization systems were collected and the optimum configuration was selected by analysis of advantage and disadvantage of the systems.
