본 논문은 우주 발사 비행체가 지구 재진입 할 때의 유도제어에 관한 것이다. 우주 발사 비행체의 재진입궤적은 재진입 할 때의 특징에 따라 여러 단계로 나누어진다. 저항가속도는 각 단계에 따라 알맞은 파라메터로 표현되며, 해석적인 저항가속도로 단순화된 궤적으로 표현한다. 본 연구는 현재의 이란적인 궤적방법과 예측방법의 각각의 장점에 의한 혼합유도방법을 표현하였다. 제안된 유도방법을 이용한 우주 발사 비행체의 재진입 모의실험의 결과는 혼합유도방법이 지구대기 재진입 할 때 간단하고 효과적인 유도방법임을 보여주었다.

The launch of the COMS by using Ariane-5 launch vehicle is introduced. First, the COMS is introduced briefly, and then, the Ariane-5 launch vehicle is introduced including detail description of the improvement of Vulcain-1 engine of Ariane-5G to Vulcain-2 engine of Ariane-5ECA for 20% increase of thrust. Then, the launch process of the COMS is introduced. The COMS will be launched from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana. After the final check at PPF the COMS is transferred to HPF in the same building for fueling, and it is integrated to the launch vehicle adaptor at HPF, too. Then, this assembly is transferred to Final Assembly Building. After the satellites to be launched together are integrated to the launch vehicle on the launch table in the Final Assembly Building, the launch table loaded with the launch vehicle is moved to the launch pad for launch. The events during the launch vehicle flight is also introduced.

Science and Technology SATellite-3 (STSAT-3) is science purpose satellite which weighs below 170kg. This is classified as small satellite or micro satellite more specifically. The launch vehicles (launchers) for small satellite has their own requirements for environmental interface. Since the small satellites are usually launched with cluster or multiple payloads, the selection option for appropriate launcher is limited. Therefore, the satellite should be designed with the consideration of environmental requirements of these launchers. In this paper, the environmental requirement of most candidated launchers for small satellite is summarized and give satellite environmental requirement to accommodate all launchers requirements.

Flight safety analysis, which includes risk estimation for the various abnormal flight modes in addition to normal flight, has to be performed necessarily to guarantee launch safety for the operation of space launch vehicles. For this purpose, a dedicated system has been developed such that all the necessary repetitive computations, result reports, and graphical presentations can be performed inside a single system for user convenience. In addition, the developed system is capable of representing computed results on a three dimensional Earth for the realistic presentation. The developed Flight Safety Analysis System will be employed for the launch operation of Korea Satellite Launch Vehicle-I.

There is close correlation between the reliability of the launch vehicle and the leakage of the propellants or gases from the launch vehicle. This paper describes the definition of the leak rate to determine the quantity of the leakage and introduce the unit conversion of the leak rate. The main parameters for the leak rate were considered. The requirements for the gaseous for the leak test of launch vehicle and various leak test methods were introduced. Leak test method and procedure used in space launch vehicle were briefly described.

1999년 한반도 상공에 발사되어 21세기 한국의 우주 시대를 열어나갈 국내 최초의 다목적 실용위성인 KOMPSAT의 개발이 한국 항공 우주 연구소를 주관 기관으로 국내외의 여러 기업 및 연구기관들이 참여한 가운데 현재 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 위성체의 설계, 제작 및 시험의 국산화 일환으로 국내에서 제작된 이중 추진 장치(Dual Thrust Module)의 발사 환경 시험에 대한 과정 및 결과에 대하여 언급코자 한다. 일반적으로 목표 궤도에서 발사체로부터 분리된 위성체는 자세 제어를 수행하며, 또한 저궤도 위성의 경우 궤도상에 존재하는 공기등의 저항으로 인하여 빈번한 궤도수정이 필요하다. DTM은 이러한 궤도수정 업무를 담당하는 중요한 위성체의 부품이다. 그러나, 지상에서 발사시 발사체로부터 전달되는 진동 및 소음의 영향으로 인하여 기능 장애를 일으킬 우려가 있음에 따라, 제작된 DTM은 위성 본체에 장착되기 전 반드시 발사 시와 동일한 환경하에서 고유의 기능을 성공적으로 수행할 수 있는지에 대한 검증 절차가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 DTM의 발사 환경 시험을 성공적으로 수행함으로써 위성체 및 부품의 시험기술을 축적하여 국내 위성 개발 분야에 기여코자 한다.

A development history of the thrusters used for space-vehicle orbit maneuver/attitude control is reviewed with their performance characteristics. Especially, a scrutiny is made for the current and practical application of TVC/Gimbal/Thrusters to the roll/pitch/yaw-axis control of each stage of launch vehicles. It is well perceived that a precise 3-axis attitude control system (ACS) must be equipped on the final stage of space launch vehicles (SLV) for an attainment of orbit-insertion accuracy. Under the superior reliability as well as moderate performance features, the monopropellant hydrazine thrusters occupy most of the SLV's 3-axis ACS currently operated. Domestic development status of the medium-thrust-level thruster is shortly introduced, finally.

Among the factors considered in the design stage of a space launch vehicle using liquid propellant, research has been focused out on the pogo phenomenon, longitudinal dynamic instability. The pogo phenomenon refers to the instability that the longitudinal vibration of the launch vehicle structure causes a change in the pressure and flow rate of the fluids in propulsion system, and this change re-excites the fuselage structure. This mechanism constitutes a closed system to gradually increase the vibration of the launch vehicle. This paper specifically focuses on the dynamic analysis of pressure and flow changes in the propulsion system. Based on the example study of the space shuttle, the acoustic modal analysis of the propulsion system is performed to predict the modes of the supply line causing instability of the fuselage.

Satellite mounted on the launch vehicles experiences several environmental heating, such as direct solar flux, Earth IR, Albedo, and free molecular heating during faring jettison-separation launch stage. So, the most outer payload box of satellite is under the worst hot condition. The thermal governing equation is reduced into 1st order ordinary differential equation and analytic solution is acquired if payload box is assumed as a single lumped mass. Applying the analytic solution, we can predict the temperature increase of payload box experienced the worst hot condition, easily.
