Recently, due to the enormous cost for sending a satellite into an orbit, small and more reliable satellites have been more demanded. An introduction of new binders(HTPB, GAP) and new oxidizers made great improvements of the large thrust modulation. In order to make cost reduction, one prefers to the low melting temperature thermoplastic propellant reforming the manufacturing process dramatically. Solid propellant rockets have been had a problem of the injection accuracy into orbit, but PBS(Post Boost Stage) using a liquid mono-propellant improves the injection accuracy. This paper also gives the direction of the advanced nozzle materials and the motor case.

The solid propellants have been most widely used for the military rockets or missiles all over the world and the efforts have been focused on the enhancement of propellant performance up to 1980s. lately in company with the distinguished development in the intelligence and communication technology, the more accurate guidance as well as maneuverability has been required in the military weapon system. To meet the requirements such as a high maneuverability, insensitiveness, or stealth of missile, the researches have been doing to develop the solid propellants which have a quality of ultra-fast burning rate, insensitiveness, low signature or the like.

액체로켓엔진의 단일추진제 가스발생기는 연료공급 시스템의 터보펌프를 구동시키기 위한 작동가스 생성을 목적으로 사용된다. 고체추진제 가스발생기와 비교할 경우 작동시간이 보다 길고 연소생성물에 의한 터빈 블레이드의 삭마가 없으며 제어가 용이하므로 초기 액체로켓엔진 개발시부터 사용되어 왔다. 80년대 이후 개발된 액체로켓엔진은 이원추진제 가스발생기 또는 연소가스 FEEDBACK 시스템을 채용하고 있지만 단일추진제 가스발생기는 과산화수소수 또는 하이드라진과 같은 별도의 추진제 공급 시스템을 필요로 하는 단점에도 불구하고 상대적으로 낮은 온도의 무연 작동 가스를 발생하므로 가스발생기 자체를 위한 냉각시스템을 제거 또는 최소화 시켜 간단한 구조로 전체 시스템 설계를 가능하게 하므로 중소형 액체로켓엔진에 사용되고 있다.

The AP/HTPB composite propellant is a common choice for solid rocket propulsion. The externally heated rocket via fires, for instance, can cause the energetic substance to ignite, and this may lead to a thermal runaway event marked by a severe explosion. In order to develop preventive measures to reduce the possibility of such accidents in propulsion systems, we investigate the ignition and initiation properties of AP/HTPB propellant.

In the current study, the numerical method was established to predict the performance of a solid rocket motor with two kinds of propellants. On the basis of a numerical study, an internal ballistics analysis code was developed. To verify the internal ballistics analysis code two solid rocket motors were manufactured and tested. The accuracy and applicability of the internal ballistics code for dual-propellant solid rocket motor were verified by comparing the experimental results with the numerical calculation.

Hybrid rocket had many advantage with compared to solid and liquid rockets. In this study, swirl flow hybrid motor was designed and manufactured. And the methods of regression rate improvement were considered. Thrust was calculated with pressure of the combustion chamber and the regression rate was measured by using ultrasonic sensor technique in entire firing conditions. In this study, PMMA fuel and HTPB solid fuel were used in firing test.

Bullet impact tests for two solid rocket motors were performed and its results were compared and analyzed. One was loaded with the existing propellant with decreased weight content of burning rate catalyst and added high density additives to improve mechanical properties and the other was loaded with the existing propellant with decreased weight content of burning rate catalyst to improve its insensitivity as well as to maintain the ballistic performance. The composite cases were used for both motors.

3단형 과학로켓의 고체모타의 내부 유동을 추진제의 연소에 따라 내부형상이 변화하는 과정에 대해 수치해석 하였다. 추진제는 표면에서 균일하게 연소된다고 가정하였으며 연소거리가 0.1mm, 30mm, 60mm, 90mm인 경우의 고체모타 내부 물리량 변화를 관찰하였다. 연소가 진행되며 잠입형 노즐의 위 부분에 큰 재순환 영역이 생기는 것이 관찰되었으며 노즐에 작용하는 압력 힘을 구하여 본 결과 노즐부의 모멘트 힘은 크지 않은 것으로 판명되었다.(중략)

추진제 연소 기체의 연기도(degree of smoke)의 정량적 측정을 위하여 설계, 제작된 Smoke Chamber를 이용하여, 고체 추진제의 연소 기체에 대한 연기도의 측정 기법을 확립하였으며, 몇가지 유연성 및 무연성 혼합형 고체 추진제 조성들과 복기형 추진제의 연소 기체에 대하여 온·습도 조건의 변화에 따라 연기도를 측정하여 결과를 종합, 분석하였다. 그 결과, Smoke Chamber장비를 이용한 측정을 통하여 추진제 연소 기체중의 연기 생성도를 정량화 함으로써, 기후 조건과 추진제 조성에 따른 연기도의 차이를 구분할 수 있었으며, 일차 연기(primary smoke)와 이차연기(secondary smoke)의 생성 조건 및 이들의 분리 측정이 가능하다는 결론을 얻었다. 측정 파장 영역에 대한 확장을 통하여 측정 범위룰 보완한다면, Smoke Chamber System은 향후 고체 추진제의 연소 기체의 연기 특성의 파악 및 로켓 모터 plume 연구의 기초 자료 획득에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다고 판단된다.
