Research of ADN-based monopropellant thruster is progressed by developed countries in Europe to replace toxic hydrazine, and ADN-based monopropellant thruster system is the only system that was proved in space environment. In this research, ADN-based propellant and catalyst was fabricated to develop ADN-based monopropellant thruster, and catalytic combustion performance with fabricated propellant and catalyst were evaluated with DSC-TG analysis. Catalytic combustion of propellant and catalyst was determined with firing test using 5 N scale liquid monopropellant thruster.

In this study, applicable to Sounding Rocket about the development of high-performance propellant was studied. Sounding Rocket requires generally multistage rocket system for atmospheric research. This study describes the development of two types solid propellant compositions which are based on HTPB/AP for the two-stage rocket. CEA code of NASA and internal ballistic analysis were used for confirming the theoretical performance of designed propellants. The strand burner and JANNAF tensile test was used to measure ballistic and mechanical properties of designed propellants. Finally, static fired test of standard motors was performed to prove the possibility of development.

The study for the performance characteristics of the nozzleless booster used in ramjet booster was carried out. Performances related to pressure and thrust for nozzleless booster are lower than classical motor those because of absence of convergent and divergent sections of nozzle. To solve this problem, it developed a high-performance propellant with maximum impulse density included Al as metal fuel. Using the nozzleless booster casted the propellant, ground test of it was carried out by varying the length-to-diameter ratio (L/D ratio) of the propellant. Specific impulse of nozzleless booster was limited to about 75 percents of its value compared with that of classical motor adapted nozzle in the same propellant and propellant length and will be estimated approximately 85 percents of its value compared with that of classical motor at same average pressure in terms of the curve fitting by our test results.

In this study, the requirements for propellants to modulate the thrust of solid rocket motor were primarily investigated, followed by searching the research trends for propellants which would be feasible for the controlled solid rocket motor. And then, the theoretical performance and combustion characteristics of solid propellants being studied in ADD were demonstrated briefly.

Hypergolic propellants have been widely used for space propulsion systems based their long-term storability and high ignition reliability. Since conventional hypergolic propellants are highly toxic and carcinogenic, handling and operating costs are significant. To overcome the drawbacks, numerous studies have been actively performed to develope new hypergolic propellants, ensuring that the combinations are high performance, low toxicity and low environmental impact. In the present study, a comprehensive survey was conducted to summarize the research and development of green hypergolic propellants involving hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, and ionic liquids.

It has been manufactured the a prototype of the oxygen rich preburner which can be used for a small high performance liquid rocket engine. Based on the model designed and analyzed by KARI a series of the work was made. First, the layout was drawn and then two kinds of the test specimen were devised and manufactured for the hydraulic and pressure test respectively. It was confirmed that the details in designing and manufacturing the preburners. All of them efforts may help establish the bases to develop high performance liquid rocket engine.

This technical paper presents a new solid propellants family. The views are based on open literature and patents recently. Electrically controlled extinguishable solid propellants (ESCSP) are capable of multiple ignitions, extinguishments and throttle control by the application of electrical power. Both core and end burning no moving parts ECESP grains/motors to three inches in diameter have now been tested. Ongoing research has led to a newer family of even higher performance ECESP providing up to 10% higher Isp, manufacturing ease, and significantly higher electrical conduction.

재생냉각은 엔진 경량화 및 높은 추력을 발생시킬 수 있으며 엔진이 장시간 작동할 경우에도 추력의 변화가 일어나지 않는 우수성으로 인해, 액체로켓엔진에서 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 냉각방식이며, 고성능 액체로켓엔진 개발에 있어서 핵심기술이다. 일반적으로 재생냉각 방식은 연소기 내벽에 형성된 냉각유로에 연료 또는 산화제를 흘려보내 고온고압의 연소실내에 온도 경계층을 생성시키면서 벽면온도를 적정온도 이내로 유지하는 것이 목적이며, 또한 냉각유로에서의 압력강하가 추진제 공급 시스템의 공급 압력의 한계값을 넘어서지 않도록 하며, 냉각후의 연료 또는 산화제의 열역학적 상태가 엔진 작동 조건에 적합하도록 제어하여야 한다.

로켓엔진 추력발생용으로 광범위하게 사용되는 액체추진제는 고성능, 대용량의 액체추진제 로켓엔진에서는 필연적으로 고주파 연소불안정의 문제를 수반하며, 이 연소불안정의 정도는 연소성능과 더불어 엔진개발의 성패를 좌우하는 중요한 여건이 된다. 따라서 안정한 로켓의 비행을 보장하기 위해서는 연소불안정의 문제가 선결되어야 한다. 연소불안정의 기본 메커니즘은 연소기에서 발생하는 압력섭동에 반응하여 불안정한 음향에너지를 되먹임하는 연소과정으로 설명된다. 연소불안정 현상이 발견된 이후 실험 및 이론적 접근에 의해 이와 같은 연소불안정 메커니즘 및 예측에 대한 체계적인 연구가 이루어져 왔으며, 현재까지의 다양한 고주파 연소불안정 예측방법 중에서 음향 및 기화 응답함수를 이용하는 방법은 직관적 고찰에 의존하는 단순한 연소모델을 적용하며 주로 음향적 섭동에 의한 연소의 반응을 연소안정성 평가의 파라메터로 사용한다. 이와 같은 음향적인 예측방법은 연소불안정 현상을 이론적으로 전개하므로 경제적으로 각종 설계변수에 대한 연소불안정의 변화를 구분할 수 있는 장점이 있어 성능 및 호환설계와 병행하여 로켓엔진 연소실의 초기 안정성 설계방법으로 주로 사용된다.
