Ascent trajectory optimization and optimal explicit guidance problems for a satellite launch vehicle in a 2-dimensional pitch plane are studied. The trajectory optimization problem with boundary conditions is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem by parameterizing the pitch attitude control variable, and is solved by using the SQP algorithm. The flight constraints such as gravity-turn are imposed. An optimal explicit guidance algorithm in the exoatmospheric phase is also presented, the guidance algorithm provides steering command and time-to-go value directly using the current states of the vehicle and the desired orbit insertion conditions. To verify the optimality and accuracy of the algorithm simulations are performed.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute has developed an earth observation satellite whose primary mission objective is to provide high resolution electro optical earth images for Geographical Information Systems (GIS) establishment and the applications for environmental, agriculture and ocean monitoring. It was successfully launched into its mission orbit by using a commercial launch vehicle on 18th of May, 2012. This paper describes a series of launch activity at the launch site including its transportation to the launch site. Before conducting the launch site operation, satellite operation plane was prepared. Combining the satellite operation plan and launch vehicle activities, an integrated launch site operation plan and schedule have been drawn up. After arrival of the spacecraft at the launch site, post-ship check out has been conducted. And then it was fuel loaded and integrated with launch vehicle hardware. After completion of final electrical check out, count down procedure was executed. on 18th of May, it was launched into the space and was separated from the launch vehicle as planned. About 3 months of early operation and calibration/validation, now the satellite is conducting its normal mission.

발사체 상단은 위성과 분리된 이후 대부분 충돌 및 오염 회피 기동을 수행한다. 이러한 기동을 통하여 위성은 안전하게 궤도에 안착되고 발사체는 위성으로부터 오염을 최소화하며 멀어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 해외 여러 발사체들의 위성 분리와 충돌 및 오염 회피 기동을 분석하였고 이를 토대로 KSLV-I 상단에 회피 기동에 의한 위성의 오염도 허용 기준을 제시하였다.

고도보정 노즐은 모든 고도에서 최적의 성능을 발휘할 수 있도록 고안된 노즐이다. 발사체의 비추력을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로는 연소실만의 특성인 특성배기속도를 향상시키는 방법과 노즐만의 특성인 추력계수를 향상시키는 방법이 있다. 고도보정 노즐은 동일한 연소기에서 노즐의 성능 개선을 통해 발사체의 성능향상을 가능하게 한다. 고도보정 노즐에 대한 연구는 독일 DLR에서 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 미국, 러시아, 영국, 호주, 일본 등 항공우주선진국에서도 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고도보정 노즐에 대한 기술 현황 및 특허 동향에 대해 조사하였다. 이를 바탕으로 고도보정 노즐의 기술흐름을 파악하고 발사체 성능향상 연구에 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

우주 발사체는 매우 높은 신뢰도의 경량구조가 필요하다. 비 파괴검사 방법 등을 이용한 구조 건전성 관리가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 우주발사체의 제작 및 검사에 실제 사용되었던 비 파괴검사 사례 중 일부를 정리하였다. 검사 방법으로는 초음파, X-ray, tapping, 음향방출 등이 사용되었고, 하드웨어로는 페이로드 페어링, 고압탱크, 체결부 및 접합부 등을 대상으로 하였다. 페이로드 페어링에서는 샌드위치 미접착 검사의 정량적 기준을 제시하였고, 고압탱크는 내압 인증시험시 내압증가에 따른 음향방출 데이터를 정리하였다. 샌드위치 체결부에서는 음향방출 신호의 주파수 변화에 따른 파손모드를 분석하였고, 이종재료 접합 구조에서는 미접착부 초음파검사를 위한 표준시편을 제시하였다. 이러한 분석 및 기록은 발사체 시스템을 구성하여 어떠한 상황이 발생하여도 신속하게 판단할 수 있는 근거가 될 수 있으며 발사체 시스템의 신뢰도를 높여주는 역할을 한다.

A simplified model of seat-human body is presented to analyze vibrations of human body on a seat of vehicle. The theoretical model having seven degrees-of-freedom is composed of the inter-connected masses, springs and dampers. Until now, evaluation of ride comfort has been usually performed only through vehicle tests. This study aims to complement shortcomings of conventional vehicle tests in evaluation of ride comfort by using the theoretical model. The acceleration values of the human body are obtained from frequency response functions of the theoretical model. Thereafter, Ride and SEAT indexes are acquired by considering response characteristics of the human body for the 12 axes that are presented in BS 6841. A vehicle test is carried out to measure the acceleration values for the three parts of the human body such as upper body, hip and foot. Ride and SEAT indexes of the vehicle test are also obtained by considering the response characteristics of the human body, of which results are compared with the values from the theoretical model. It is found that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

In this paper, prediction of separation trajectory for Two-stage-To-Orbit space launch vehicle has been numerically simulated by using an aerodynamic database based on steady state analysis. Aerodynamic database were obtained for matrix of longitudinal and vertical positions. The steady flow simulations around the launch vehicle have been made by using a 3-D RANS flow solver based on unstructured meshes. For this purpose, a vertex-centered finite-volume method was adopted to discretize inviscid and viscous fluxes. Roe's finite difference splitting was utilized to discretize the inviscid fluxes, and the viscous fluxes were computed based on central differencing. To validate this flow solver, calculations were made for the wind-tunnel experiment model of the LGBB TSTO vehicle configuration on steady state conditions. Aerodynamic database was constructed by using flow simulations based on test matrix from the wind-tunnel experiment. ANN(Artificial Neural Network) was applied to construct interpolation function among aerodynamic variables. Separation trajectory for TSTO launch vehicle was predicted from 6-DOF equation of motion based on the interpolated function. The result of present separation trajectory calculation was compared with the trajectory using experimental database. The predicted results for the separation trajectory shows fair agreement with reference[4] solution.

This paper is focused on the procedure of the development of a micro air vehicle which has vertical take-off and landing capability for indoor reconnaissance mission. Trade studies on mission feasibility led to the proposal of a coaxial rotorcraft configuration as the platform. The survey to provide a guide for preliminary design were conducted based on commercial off-the-shelf platform, and the rotor performance was estimated by the simple momentum theory. To determine the initial size of the micro air vehicle, the modified conventional fuel balance method was applied to adopt for electric powered vehicle, and the sizing problem was optimized with the sequential quadratic programming method using MATLAB. The designed rotor blades were fabricated with high strength carbon composite material and integrated with the platform. The developed coaxial rotorcraft micro air vehicle shows stable handling quality with manual flight test in indoor situation.
