This paper describes the development of scientific payload system onboard the KSR-III. The ozone detector(UVR), Langmuir electron probe(LEP), airglow photometer(AGP), and magnetometer(MAG) constitute this system. The purpose of the ozone detector is to measure the ozone density profile and the LEP measures the electron density and temperature in the ionosphere over the Korean Peninsula. The AGP detects airglow in the mesosphere over the Korean Peninsular. The MAG provides rocket attitude and the magnetic fluctuation information during the flight. With the developed payloads, the ground calibration tests and the environmental tests have been performed.

The position and trajectory of in-flight rocket are important informations to determine the flight safety of rocket. In general tracking system, radar and transponder are used to acquire position information. Rocket position and trajectory can be determined by using RF communication between ground station and in-flight rocket and antenna position data. Onboard transponder system is composed of RF receiving part, RF transmitting one, decoder and single TX/ RX antenna. Therefore circulator is necessary for minimizing RF signal interference. In this paper, the radar transponder system was developed to track the trajectory and position of KSR-Ⅲ by using radar.

과거 로켓엔진의 개발은 군사적, 혹은 국가 간 기술 선점을 목적으로 그 개발이 이루어져 왔으나, 최근에는 인공위성 발사, 대기관측 등 상업적 목적에 의한 개발이 두드러지고 있다. 이와 같은 상업적 로켓 개발에 있어서는 신뢰도와 경제성이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 한국항공우주연구소에서 개발중인 3단형 과학로켓(KSR-III)의 엔진은 상업적 목적의 인공위성 발사를 목표로 하여, 엔진 시스템의 단순화를 통한 신뢰도 향상과 엔진 제작비용 절감을 통한 경제성을 고려하여 개발되고 있다.(중략)

Jet noise of propulsion systems is major source of acoustic loads of launch vehicles and sounding rockets. The investigation of characteristics of jet noise is inevitable for successful missions. In this paper, the mechanism of generation of acoustic loads due to jet noise was investigated. The major parameters that change the characteristics of acoustic loads were also suggested so that effects of the parameters could be investigated. The temporal and spatial characteristics of acoustic loads of KSR-III was demonstrated. The results show that the maximum value of the acoustic loads is found in the octave bands whose center frequencies are 250 Hz and 500 Hz. Finally, the methods and the facilities for the further investigation of acoustic loads were proposed.

During dynamic flight by propulsion of rocket engine, in the atmosphere, the attitude control of flight vehicle can be accomplished by the aerodynamic fin actuator. But, in the outer space, the method of TVC(Thrust Vector Control) is only depend on for it. There are many systems which were developed for TVC. In our research, among them we adopted gimbal engine actuation system which could control the vector of thrust by swivelling rocket engine connected by gimbal. There are electro-hydraulic, electro-mechanical and pneumatic system which can be used as gimbal engine actuation system, but the electro-hydraulic system that has high ratio of output power to mass is preferred for the high power system. In this note, we made a mathematical model of the electro-hydraulic gimbal engine actuation system for the TVC of KSR-III in detail and on the base of this model we performed a simulation study. And then, we verified the model by making a comparison between the simulation and the experiments on the real system.
