The NARO is South Korea's first carrier launch vehicle, which made its flights from NARO Space Center on 25 August 2009 and 10 June 2010. LV PACS(Preparation Automated Control System) is a electrical ground support system to monitor and control the integrated launch vehicle during the launch preparation and operation in Launch Complex. As a subsystem of LV PACS, LV PACS-II was developed for launch preparation and operation of the NARO upper stage, and all the functions and requirements were verified successfully through NARO flight tests. In this paper the core technology and characteristics applied to LV PACS-II are described.

We had research to conduct interrelationships between sensors using postprocessing analysis with the Fuzzy-Kalman Filtering Auto-Correlation about Real Time Simulator data of the NaroSC LCS in case of a fully blind situation scenario. The conducted interrelations are same harmony with relations in scenario. We had analyzed signals of sensors reverse-using a optimization character of Fuzzy-Kalman Filter. As our research conclusion, We had recognized possibilities of signal processing about the KSLV-1, on-board payloads, general equipments of ground support which apply to multi sensor systems.

Launch Control System(LCS) performs the pre-launch preparation and launch operation during launch campaign. The successful launch operation is basically influenced by hardware and software of LCS. Especially, a trivial errors in control algorithm can cause critical problem or disaster in launch operation. Therefore, the hidden or implicit errors should be distinguished and eliminated by the verification test in advance. In this paper, the design and implementation of hardware and software simulator which have already been used in LCS verification will be introduced. By presenting the detailed design and flowchart-based algorithms, we make other similar systems adopt the implementation philosophies of this paper. Especially, this paper emphasizes that all the simulation algorithms work on the self-controller in LCS without using separated computer or PLC.

LCS(Launch Control System) in Space Center performs the ground and flight tests of launch vehicle. Those tests require data monitoring and control functions to the external systems such as launch vehicle, launch pad, and propellant supply system, etc. The LCS is composed of real time control system, simulation system, data server, external network, etc. The purpose of the simulation system is to simulate launch vehicle, and it is used for evaluation test of the LCS. This paper described the simulation system overview, the concept design, and the real time data processing evaluation tests of the simulator, gateway, data distribution server which are constituents of the simulation system.

The launch operation for a space launch vehicle(SLV) is to be conducted by the systematic operation between SLV and the Technological Equipment(TE) such as the mechanical, fuel, and electrical ground support equipment at launch complex(LC). The basic source for the operation of the instruments in LC is the electrical power supply system, Technological Equipment Power Supply System(TEPSS), which is one of the Launch Control System. Thus TEPSS should supply the required electrical power to TE with reliability. In this paper, TEPSS which supplies operational electrical power to TE is introduced.

The launch complex(LC) is composed of various facilities. The launch control system that operates remotely those of LC spends much time and labor for developing and verifying its control algorithms. The verification of algorithms is performed by the software developer entering simulated state values based on the test procedure and checking the output result according to the algorithm flow. These verification processes should be performed repeatedly, thus the human errors are easily occurred. In this paper, an efficient automated verification method with a script test procedure is proposed to minimize human errors and shorten the verification duration. We also present the results of the algorithm verification tests for the cases of the compressed gases supply system and the electro pneumatic panel system of LC.

LCC(Launch Control Center) in NARO space center performs a data monitoring and control through the interface to the external system of launch vehicle. Launch control function needs high reliability and processing speed. Hence, LCS(Launch Control System) is made up a real time system. An important role of the LCS Prototype is discovering a risk element and minimizing it through developing a launch control system. This paper deals with a real time data processing among the simulator, gateway, data distribution server, command and control server which is involving LCS Prototype.

우주발사체 발사를 위해서는 발사대시스템 개발이 필수적이다. 발사대시스템은 기계설비와 추진제공급설비, 관제설비로 구성되며, 그 중 기계설비는 발사지지대(Launch Pad), 이렉터(Erector), 트랜스포터이렉터(Transport-Erector), 케이블마스트(Cable-mast), 자동체결장치(Auto-coupling Device) 총 다섯 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 발사지지대는 발사 전까지 발사체를 지지하는 구조물로 발사체의 안전을 보장하고 공급배관 및 통신라인의 경로를 제공한다. 이렉터는 발사준비과정에서 수평으로 이송된 발사체를 2개의 대형 유압실린더를 사용하여 기립시키는 장비로 발사 취소 시 발사체를 수평으로 전환한다. 트랜스포터이렉터는 조립공간에서 조립을 마치고 최종점검이 완료된 발사체를 전용차량을 이용하여 발사대로 이동하고 발사체를 안전하게 잡아준다. 자동체결장치는 지상으로부터 발사체로 연결되는 추진제, 압축가스 등의 연결배관을 자동으로 연결/분리하는 장치이다. 케이블마스트는 우주발사체 상단부의 UCU-E(Umbilical Connectors Unit-Electrical)를 통해서 전기, 고압가스, 고온공기 등을 공급하기 위한 통로로 발사 전까지 발사체시스템과 지상장비와의 통신수단이다. 또한 발사체로 연결되는 라인들을 발사 시에 나오는 후류에 의한 충격으로부터 보호하고, UCU-E가 기계적으로 분리되도록 구성되어 있다. 본 논문은 기존에 적용된 케이블마스트에 대한 구성, 기능 및 운용절차에 관한 것으로, 현재 진행 중인 한국형발사체 개발을 위한 기초 자료조사로 활용하고자 한다.
