Thrust measuring is one of the crucial factor to decide the performance of a liquid rocket engine when the engine development test, especially for the combustion chamber, is implemented. Calculating the thrust from a combustion pressure is used when direct measuring the thrust is impossible, but direct measuring the thrust is necessary and various methods for doing it more precisely should be considered. This paper introduces the preliminary design concept about the new thrust measurement system for the vertical firing test stand, which is introduced domestically for the first time, of a liquid rocket engine combustion chamber.

The Propulsion Test Facilities for the development of Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II are being built, some test facilities are completed and various combustion tests are running. The Propulsion Test Facilities consists test-stand, which carries out tests for engine development model, and various sub-systems and vessels containing LOX and Jet A-1 as propellant. There are always risks of fire and explosion at the test-stand since engine development model is conducted at test-stand with real combustion test with very high pressure, mixed propellant and high energy. In this paper, in order to establish the consequence analysis and risk reduction measures in the Propulsion Test Facilities, followings are considered. 1) a propellant leak accident scenario is assumed in test-stand. 2) TNT equivalent model equation based on blast wave of the explosion was used to analyze blast overpressure and impacts. Also, technical, systematic and managemental measure is described to ensure risk reduction for propulsion test facility.

본 기술개발은 기존 태양추적기의 구조를 크게 변화시킬 수 있는 무선망 활용 태양추적기 개발에 관한 내용이다. 기존의 태양추적기는 태양광어레이에 스탠드얼론 시스템으로 부착되어 태양추적 및 관련 제어기능을 수행한다. 그러나 본 무선망활용 태양추적기는 PC와 태양광어레이가 지그비 무선망으로 연결되는 구조이다. 무선망을 활용함으로서 기존 태양추적기 대비 제어모듈의 역할이 매우 단순화되어 장치의 강건함, 내구성 및 경제성이 증가되는 효과가 있다. 무선망을 활용함으로서 태양광에레이 측은 무선데이터 송수신 기능과 모터제어 부분만 구현되어도 되며 나머지 기능들은 PC에서 처리해서 무선으로 태양광에레이 모듈에게 전달된다. 또한 고가의 센서 등도 PC에만 구현되고 필요한 데이터는 PC에서 처리하고 계산해서 무선으로 태양광어레이에게 전달하는 구조이다. 그리고 태양추적을 위한 정밀한 자동제어 알고리즘도 PC에서는 충분히 구현할 수 있으며 이를 수행한 후 필요 데이터를 태양광어레이 모듈에게 무선으로 전달한다. 본 기술개발 내용에 대한 시제품이 완성단계에 있으며 필드테스트 수행을 준비하고 있다.

Propulsion system test complex (PSTC) is designed to verify propulsion system of KSLV-II. It is composed of hydraulic and pneumatic system, test stand system, control/measurement system, and flame deflector and safety system. In this study, kerosene filling system of hydraulic and pneumatic system is introduced. It performs store and chilling of kerosene, chilling and purging of filling line, and filling and retrieval of the kerosene. The kerosene supply requirements of 1, 2 and 3 stages of KSLV-II are considered in design process.
