The small size of hybrid rocket using PE-$LN_2O$ was designed, constructed and launched for a development basic technology of Hybrid rocket vehicle. The hybrid engine ignition system was designed with valve system using external actuator and confirmed working without any fault. To design fuel grain an internal ballistics design was carried out, and to estimate rockets flight path an external ballistics analysis was carried out. So the rocket was designed and constructed, and the launch test proves that hybrid rocket's design was suitable. The hybrid rocket(weight : 9kg, diameter : 110 mm, height : 1.7 m) was launched successfully. But parachute was deployed on mid-flight and the mission could not finish its purposed flight. Some of problems were found in this activity but next launch vehicle will be improved.

This study is for development combustion test facility of liquid rocket engine system using hydrogen peroxide/kerosene as propellent. For this new facility, we construct thrust measure system, propellent supply system, control and data acquisition system. To perform 200N liquid rocket engine combustion test, operation scenario and sequence were designed. Result of combustion test propellents were supplied to engine stably and confirm of development combustion test facility very well.

Propellant pressurization system in liquid rocket propulsion system plays a role supplying pressurant gas at a controlled pressure into the ullage space of propellant tanks. The most important design parameter for such propellant pressurization system is the temperature of pressurant gas fed from pressurant tank, which is placed inside of cryogenic propellant tank. Such pressurant is gaseous state, of which density is very sensitive to the temperature of pressurant. Previous investigation dealt with thermal correlation of pressurant and external fluid at room temperature. This study investigates the temperature variation of cryogenic pressurant (GHe) at the time when the pressurant is coming out of pressurant tank, which is submerged in a liquid oxygen, experimentally as well as numerically.

Mathematical modelling for liquid rocket engine(LRE) main components were conducted to predict the dynamic characteristics when the LRE operates at the transient condition, which include engine start up, shut down, or thrust control. Propellant feeding system is composed of fuel and oxidizer feeding components except for regenerative cooling channel for the fuel circuit. Components modeling of pump, pipe, orifice, control valve, regenerative cooling channel and injector was serially made. Hydraulic tests of scale down component were made in order to validate modelling components. The mathematical models of engine components were integrated into LRE transient simulation program in concomitant with experimental validation.

A propulsion system of a satellite provides a necessary thrust to reach to the final orbit after a separation from a launch vehicle. Also, it supplies pulse moments to maintain the satellite in a mission orbit and for its attitude controls during a mission life time. The present study investigates the development trend of bipropellant rocket engines for an orbit transfer and an attitude control of a satellite using monomethylhydrazine and hydrazine for fuel and dinitrogen tetroxide for oxidizer to derive fundamental specifications which are necessary for domestic development researches. Also, their major performance characteristics are summarized.

In this study, basic research on the thrust control by controling oxidizer mass flow rate of a $GO_2$/PE hybrid rocket is presented. For this purpose, hybrid rocket system including oxidizer flow control system and data acquisition system was developed. To control oxidizer mass flow rate, we used needle valve with stepping motor which was controled by LabVIEW program. During the fundamental experiments, this system managed to follow the pre-programmed (20 N - 10 N - 20 N - 0 N) thrust level.

With the mathematic linear model of a combustor which consists of a combustion chamber and injectors, the analysis of low frequency dynamic characteristics of a liquld-propellant rocket engine combustor was performed. Propellant mass flowrate was varied by combustion chamber pressure feedback, therefore low frequency oscillation was appeared. Increasing the time constant of a combustion chamber and injector pressure differences and decreasing combustion time delay increased the combustor system stability. The variation of injector time constant little affected stability. The system was always stable, when there was no combustion time delay. Increasing combustion time delay decreased oscillation frequency and damping ratio, and the system eventually became unstable.

과거 로켓엔진의 개발은 군사적, 혹은 국가 간 기술 선점을 목적으로 그 개발이 이루어져 왔으나, 최근에는 인공위성 발사, 대기관측 등 상업적 목적에 의한 개발이 두드러지고 있다. 이와 같은 상업적 로켓 개발에 있어서는 신뢰도와 경제성이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 한국항공우주연구소에서 개발중인 3단형 과학로켓(KSR-III)의 엔진은 상업적 목적의 인공위성 발사를 목표로 하여, 엔진 시스템의 단순화를 통한 신뢰도 향상과 엔진 제작비용 절감을 통한 경제성을 고려하여 개발되고 있다.(중략)
