In this paper, a subminiature solid rocket motor(SSRM) was designed to develop a miniature smart-bullet and the designed propellant grain was made of thermoplastic propellant for production convenience of inner shape. The internal ballistics analysis and ground test were performed to investigate the performance of SSRM. And a numerical simulation was carried out to obtain basic data on the design of safety distance between the nozzle outlet and a gunner, the temperature distribution of exhaust gas was analyzed by comparing a numerical simulation and the results of IR camera.

In this paper numerical stability of CSS and ISS schemes in axisymmetric fluid-structure-burning simulation for solid rocket motors are studied. The implemented CSS and ISS algorithms for two-dimensional axisymmetric FSI problems are used to analyze ACM and BCM solid rocket motors. Numerical results from CSS and ISS schemes are compared to investigate the efficacy of ISS scheme over CSS scheme in stabilizing the numerical solution. The ACM and BCM simulation results show that ISS scheme gives stable and converged numerical solutions with appropriately small system time step size, while CSS scheme fails to converge after generating rapidly amplified oscillatory solutions. It is concluded that ISS scheme can be useful in improving the numerical stability of FSI analysis for ACM and BCM solid rocket motor simulations, which is not successfully obtained with CSS scheme.

One of main functions of the firing control system applied to a rocket propulsion test has been to provide electric current for ignition of a solid rocket motor. This paper describes the design and implementation of an enhanced firing control system for ground propulsion test that can also control and verify various types of squib events and flight sequences.

Ultrasonic testing are far superior to other nondestructive tests for detecting the disbond interface which occurred in adhesive interface. However, a solid rocket motor consisting of a steel case, rubber insulation, liner, and propellant poses many difficulties for analyzing ultrasonic waves because of the superposition of reflected waves and large differences in acoustic impedance of various materials. Therefore, ultrasonic tests for detecting the disbond interface in solid rocket motor have been applied in very limited areas between the steel case and rubber insulation using an automatic C-scan system. The existing ultrasonic test cannot detect the disbond interface between the liner and propellant of a solid rocket motor because most of the ultrasonic waves are absorbed in the rubber material which has low acoustic impedance. This problem could be overcome by analyzing the resonance frequency from the frequency spectrum using the ultrasonic resonance method. In this paper, a new technique to detect the disbond interface between the liner and propellant using ultrasonic resonance characteristics is discussed in detail.

The basic research on KM(Kick Motor) for space launch vehicle was carried out. KM whick will be used as 2nd stage solid rocket motor. in Korean Satellite Launch Vehicle(I) has been developing. KM is a solid rocket motor using composite propellant based on HTPB and is composed of composite motor case and submerged nozzle. To develop KM rocket motor satisfing a given set of requirement, firstly the full-scale KM was designed, then sub-scale motor reduced about $50\%$ were manufactured and tested.

A multi pulse rocket motor(MPRM) has several advantages compared to the single one. The range and the terminal velocity of the guided missile can be remarkably increased by the application of the pulse separation device(PSD) to the solid rocket motor which resulted in appropriate thrust distribution. In this study, the full scale heavy type dual pulse rocket motor with the bulkhead type PSD was designed, manufactured, and fire-tested. The bursting time and pressure of PSD were analyzed by the pressure, thrust and vibration results of static fire tests. As a result, the design requirement was verified that bursting pressure is lower than 30% of 2nd pulse operating pressure.

The hybrid rocket has been known for over 50 years. It is safe and cheap but wasn't widely used for the deficit of low regression rate. However, the hybrid rocket propulsion system will replace a lot of fields of missiles, rockets and propulsion systems of launch vehicles with new development of paraffin based solid fuel composition
