It is necessary to check the fault of phased array antenna, when the active phased array radar installed in the site is suspected performance degradation due to external impact or long-term operation. However, the near-field test should be performed in anechoic chamber in order to measure the phased array antenna, so that much time and cost must be applied for radar disassembly and transportation, and the operational availability of the radar system is deteriorates. Therefore, we propose a near-field scanner with mobility to check the fault of the phased array antenna at the site, and the effectiveness of the proposed scanner was verified with ${\pm}0.5dB$ magnitude and ${\pm}1.5^{\circ}$ phase in comparison with measured data in anechoic chamber.

Soil conditioning improves the performance of EPB (earth pressure balance) shield TBMs (tunnel boring machines) by reducing shear strength, enhancing workability of the excavated soil, and supporting the tunnel face during EPB tunnelling. The mechanical and rheological behavior of the excavated muck mixed with additives should be properly evaluated to determine the optimal additive injection condition corresponding to each ground type. In this study, the laboratory pressurized vane test apparatus equipped with a vane-shaped rheometer was developed to reproduce the pressurized condition in the TBM chamber and quantitively evaluate rheological properties of the soil specimens. A series of the pressurized vane tests were performed for an artificial sand soil by changing foam injection ratio (FIR) and polymer injection ratio (PIR), which are the injection parameters of the foam and the polymer, respectively. In addition, the workability of the conditioned soil was evaluated through the slump test. The peak and yield stresses of the conditioned soil with respect to the injection parameters were evaluated through the rheogram, which was derived from the measured torque data in the pressurized vane test. As FIR increased or PIR decreased, the workability of the conditioned soil increased, and the maximum torque, peak stress, and yield stress decreased. The peak stress and yield stress of the specimen from the laboratory pressurized vane test correspond to the workability evaluated by the slump tests, which implies the applicability of the proposed test for evaluating the rheological properties of excavated soil.

We conducted the performance test of micronozzle having nozzle throat diameter of 1.0, 0.5, 0.25 mm in an ambient pressure. We used N2 gas as a cold gas propellant. We varied chamber pressure from 2 to 20 bar and measured the thrust and mass flow rate. Through the test, we concluded that viscous losses were increased with decreasing chamber pressure. We found that micronozzle performance was higher than orifice performance through thrust comparison.

A simplified test rig to simulate high-altitude environments was designed by analyzing the AEDC (Arnolds Engineering Development Center) report regarding simulated altitude testing. The test rig consists of a vacuum chamber, a supersonic nozzle connected to a cold-gas supplier and a diffuser. The preliminary tests were conducted to validate the AEDC design concepts. The test results showed that sub-atmospheric pressure(1.0psia) environments were realized inside the vacuum chamber and the design concepts were confirmed.

점차 정밀화 및 대형화되고 있는 통신위성의 운영 우주환경은 고진공 환경이며 태양 복사열에 의한 고온 환경 및 극저온이 반복되는 가혹한 환경으로 특징지어진다. 위성체는 지상에서 발사되어 우주궤도에 진입한 순간부터는 계속해서 우주환경에 노출되며 이러한 가혹한 우주환경에 의해서 위성체의 주요부품에 기능장애가 초래되기도 하고 이는 결국 임무의 실패로 이어지도 한다. 즉 우주환경은 지상 환경과는 판이하게 다르기 때문에 지상에서는 제대로 작동하는 것으로 관찰되는 위성체가 우주환경에서는 예상하지 못한 기능장애를 보이기도 하고 이는 때때로 임무성공에 치명적인 영향을 미치기도 한다. 위와 같은 이유들로 인하여 위성체는 지상에서 우주환경시험을 거쳐 기능 및 작동상태를 점검해야 하며, 이를 위해서는 우주환경을 모사 할 수 있는 우주환경 모사장비가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 정지궤도 위성과 같은 대형 위성체의 우주환경 모사에 필요한 대형 열진공 챔버의 설계에 필요한 요소들을 살펴보고자 한다.

Vacuum facility is required for high altitude space environment test to develop satellites or space launch vehicles. We, at Chungnam, National University, developed turbo molecular pump vacuum test facility up to $1.0{\times}10-6$ torr to simulate 200 km altitude environment. In this paper, we present some preliminary vacuum performance test results.

The characteristics of hydro-reactive metal fuel(HRF) propellant on motor performances such as specific impulse and chamber temperature were analyzed by thermodynamic calculation methods. The thermal analysis and burning rate experiments of HRF propellants were also carried out for studying effects of metal fuels on combustion properties.

인공위성은 지상에서 발사된 후 로켓에 의해 임무궤도에 안착을 한 뒤 위성 내부에 탑재된 추진시스템에 의하여 자세 및 궤도제어를 수행한다. 특히, 저궤도 관측위성의 경우 정확한 이미지 촬영을 위해서는 자세제어가 매우 중요하고, 추진체의 잔여량에 따라 인공위성의 수명이 결정되기도 하므로 추진시스템의 역할이 매우 중요하다. 특히, 추진체의 무게에 따라 위성 전체 중량이 좌우되어 발사중량에도 영향을 미치게 되므로 고성능, 저질량의 추진계가 요구되며, 추진계는 극히 미세한 누설도 허용되지 않는다. 개발된 인공위성 추진계 내부의 누설 여부 확인을 위하여 우주환경을 모사한 진공챔버 내부에서 고압으로 충진된 추진 탱크의 누설탐지 시험을 수행하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 지상에서 모사된 우주환경 하에서 인공위성 추진계의 누설 탐지 기법에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

The waterhammer occur when the pumps are started or stopped for the operation or tripped due to the power failure, and the hydraulic transients take place as a result of the sudden change in velocity. Several times, the field tests of the waterhammer were carried out for Pangyo booster pumping station. Pangyo pumping station was installed with the booster pumps of 6 sets and the in-line pumps of 2 sets. The in-line pumps are additionally needed to the surge suppression device so that the pumping station acquire the safety and reliability for the pressure surge.
