A ground firing test facility for Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) combustor was built in Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) in 2001 to support the development of the first Korean LRE for the KSR-III. About 170 tests were conducted up to date since its establishment and in the meantime a considerable improvements were made in the facility capability. This paper describes the outline, conducted tests and operation techniques which have been acquired through the operation of the test facility.

A Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) ground firing test facility was built in Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) in 2001 to develop the LRE for the first Korean liquid rocket, KSR-III. Around 170 tests were conducted since its establishment until recently by September 2006, and in the meantime, a considerable improvements were made in the capability. This paper describes the outline, conducted tests and operation techniques which have been accumulated through the operation of KARI LRE ground firing test facility.

This paper describes the development status of rocket engine test facility for the performance evaluation of liquid rocket engine of KSLV-II 1st stage. Design specification and composition of rocket engine test facility are suggested based on the design requirements. The results of the basic design of rocket engine test facility will be used as base data for the detail design and construction of rocket engine ground test facility of KSLV-II 75tonf liquid rocket engine.

Ground firing test facility and test field for firing test of hybrid rocket engine were constructed. Ground firing test facility were composed of hybrid rocket engine, thrust stand, oxidizer storage/supply system, control system and data acquisition system. Firing tests of thrust 50 kgf class were conducted. Stable performance data was obtained and operational reliability of ground firing test facility were found.

This paper describes a construction scheme of hot backup or triple modular redundancy control system in a ground hot-firing test facility to carry out performance assessment of propulsion system used in a space launch vehicle. It was possible for a hot backup redundancy control system with manual operated console to simulate TMR control system. A console layout of control system in control center to restrict imprudent works of operators was proposed.

The rocket engine test facility(ReTF) was improved for hot firing tests of 7 ton-class liquid rocket engine combustion chamber, which will be used for the third stage of the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II(KSLV-II), considering convenience of operation and maintenance, flexibility and safety. In this paper, main modifications and functions of improved ReTF were described. 초 록

We manufactured standard motor to measure burning rate of propellant, used to estimate burning rate of main motor by static fired testing. We installed static fired testing facility and developed standard motor more lightly to accomplish the test. As a result of the tests, we could get the burning rate closer than acquired by existing method to the main motor's on. And we confirmed repeatability by many times of tests. We will use this method positively for R&D and quality assurance activity of mass production.

Sub-system requirements of a pressure-fed hot-firing test facility for performance assessment of a Liquid Rocket Engine(LRE) thrust chamber using Liquid oxygen and kerosene were described. These requirements were based on the experience of construction and operation of the ground hot-firing test facility which was used for the development of the KSR-III and a 30 tonf-class LRE thrust chamber. So it is expected that this paper is used as a basic material and an itemized previous review statement for the design and construction of a large hot-firing test facility.

These requirements were based on the experience of construction and operation of the ground hot-firing test facility which was used for the development of the KSR-III and a 30 $ton_f$-class LRE thrust chamber. So it is expected that this paper is used as a basic material and an itemized previous review statement for the design and construction of a large hot-firing test facility.
