During the flight test of KSLV-I, various sensors are installed in the launch pad and the flame deflector to measure the flame characteristics and their influences on the launch complex when a launch vehicle lifts off. Parameter Measurement System is responsible for acquiring the above flight test data. The measurement methodology such as the configuration of measurement system, sensor locations and data acquisition procedures are presented. And this paper compares and explains the characteristics of data sets measured during two flight tests.

In this paper, a new load monitoring system for military aircraft is introduced. This system consists of sensors, an onboard device and an ground analysis equipment. The sensors and onboard device are mounted on the aircraft and the ground analysis equipment is operated on the ground. Through this system, structural static load can be estimated with flight parameters and structural responses can be measured by sensors due to static load, dynamic load and unexpected events. Especially, optical fiber sensors with mutiplexing capability are utilized. The onboard device was specially designed for complying the requirements of relevant military specifications and was verified through a series of the environment tests. This system was used and evaluated through ground structural tests before flight tests. In the near future, this system will be applied to military aircraft as a structural load monitoring system after flight test evaluation.
