  • Payload fairing(PLF) protects satellites and related equipment from the external environment. They are separated before the satellite separation. Payload fairing made of composite sandwich materials due to their considerable bending stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio. Payload fairing have compression, shear and bending load during the flight. In this study, To check the strength of PLF and connected part, structural test of PLF accomplished using an actuator and a fixture. Purpose of structural test is to verify the strength of PLF in force of separation spring and combination structural load applied. Test result shows that the PLF have an acceptable margin of safety for the combination structural load and force of separation spring.

  • Payload fairing protects satellites and electrical equipments from the external environment. Payload fairing is jettisoned before satellite separation. Assembly frame for the separation of payload fairing were assembled with shear bolts. The role of shear bolts is to support structural load during flight and they are cut by explosion of pyro. The assembly frame which is connected by shear bolts is separated after the cutting of shear bolts. In this paper, structural tests and analysis were done for the design of the shear bolt. Compression, bending and shear load apply to the hardware including assembly frame. Test results showed that design of the shear bolt satisfied both structural strength for the support of flight load and required low strength for the cutting of shear bolts.

  • Acoustic and vibration research activities for the structural development of Korean space launch vehicles are introduced in this paper. Various dynamic loads exerted on a launch vehicle during its operation are summarized. The acoustical design method of payload fairings which protect satellites from harsh launch environment was reviewed. Several acoustic research activities were performed to enhance the analytical prediction ability during the development period of the Naro and the Nuri launcher. Specifically, the following research activities are reviewed: a test and vibro-acoustic analysis of composite cylinders whose layup properties are varied, a research on low-frequency acoustic load reduction by an acoustic resonator array and an acoustic test on the cylinder part of the Naro payload fairing. A vibro-acoustic analysis result for the Nuri launcher was introduced and predicted acoustic and vibration levels and measured ones are shown to be in a good agreement.

  • Acoustic test of the payload fairing of Korea satellite launch vehicle was conducted to verify the performance of acoustic protection system installed inside the payload fairing. This paper briefly introduces the acoustic test procedures and its results. Overall 148 dB acoustic loads were exerted on the payload fairing structures which mated with the upper stage structure of the launch vehicle. In order to verify the increase of insertion loss by the acoustic protection system, two kinds of test were performed. One is conducted with acoustic protection system and the other without acoustic protection system. Internal acoustic loads as well as external ones were measured and the measured insertion losses were compared with the requirement. The results showed that the acoustic protection system increases the insertion loss by more than 6 dB above 125 Hz. They also indicated that some design modification of Helmholtz resonator array is required to increase the insertion loss at a cavity resonant frequency.

  • Acoustic load from rocket propulsion system is main source of random vibration working on the payload. To protect payload from this acoustic load, additional APS(acoustic protection system) is generally applied. Noise reduction capacity of APS can be verified through acoustic test and vibro-acoustic coupled analysis. This paper compared the results of acoustic test and vibro-acoustic coupled analysis about KSLV-I payload fairing with APS.

  • Space launch vehicles require highly reliable, lightweight structures. It is thus important to monitor the structural health of these components with nondestructive inspections. In this paper, we studied an example of a nondestructive inspection that was partially applied to the manufacture and inspection of a launch vehicle. Ultrasonic tests, X-rays, tapping, and acoustic emissions comprised the inspection method. A payload fairing, high pressure tank, fastener part, and bonding part were used as hardware to be inspected. We proposed a quantitative standard for debonding inspection of the payload fairing and acoustic emission data for the proof test of the high pressure tank. We analyzed the fracture mode of the sandwich fastener part according to frequency changes. We also proposed a standard specimen for ultrasonic inspection of bonds of different materials. The present analyses and results provide data for evaluation of the launch operation sequence to ensure launch vehicles afford high reliability.

  • Acoustic test was performed to verify the ability of KSLV-I PLF acoustic protection system (Acoustic blanket) to reduce the acoustic load. The test results showed that the acoustic protection system has +3 dB safety margin compared with design requirement. This paper also illustrates the increase of insertion loss by the acoustic protection system by comparing that of the bare PLF structure.

  • This paper introduces modal test of the 2nd stage structure of KSLV-I which is composed to satellite, PLA(Payload Adapter), EB(Equipment Bay), KMS(Kick Motor Support) and KM(Kick Motor) without PLF(Payload Fairing). In this test, to simulate free-free boundary condition, test object was hung by 4 bungee cords and excited by using impact hammer. From this test, dynamic properties of the 2nd stage structure of KSLV-I can be obtained. Modal test data are analyzed by using TDAS(Test Data Analysis Software). As the result, modal parameters and mode shapes below 100Hz of the 2nd stage of KSLV-I were identified.
