The authors have reviewed many mathematical thermal mode lings of bipropellant propulsion system in literatures to gather basic data for developing a computer program which analyses the performance of bipropellant propulsion system. In this paper COMS and its propulsion system is briefly introduced for understanding. The set of first order nonlinear differential equations is reviewed and considered as candidate equations for the program development.

The technology relevant to a bipropellant propulsion system is quite new one in Korea, which is being transferred for the first time, with development of COMS propulsion system. It hasn't ever attempted before, and hasn't got any general idea itself as well, in Korea. The technical heritage of UK bipropellant propulsion pertinent to COMS propulsion system is scrutinised mainly. Furthermore the strong possibility of COMS CPS for the moon explorer mission is rationalised on the basis of the history of successful predecessors.

A fluid transient analysis on the pipe network of bipropellant propulsion system is conducted through numerical parametric studies in which unsteady friction results are compared with quasi-steady friction results and also show the pressure drop results during the liquid apogee engine firing. The fluid transient analysis program has verified through comparing with the original Zielke model, the full and recursive convolution model and quasi-steady model as a reference. And the pressure drop program also has verified through comparing with results of the well-known program, EPANET2. The bipropellant propulsion system has two different fluids as fuel and oxidizer, and mostly they are hypergolic combination so that the valve opening and closing of the thrusters, that cause the pressure waves, shall take place simultaneously to get proper performance. The different physical properties of the fuel and oxidizer result in the different responsive to the same valve opening and closing. The response results may be helpful to know the characteristics of the bipropellant propulsion system and design it.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has jointly developed a bipropellant propulsion system for Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) with EADS Astrium in UK. The technology relevant to a bipropellant propulsion system is quite new one in Korea, which is transferred for the first time, with development of COMS propulsion system. It hasn't ever attempted before, and hasn't got any general idea itself as well, in Korea. The COMS Chemical Propulsion System (CPS) is designed to perform both the orbital injection function, to take the spacecraft from transfer orbit to Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and all on-station propulsive functions throughout the lifetime of the satellite. All station keeping manoeuvres are performed using the CPS. The design, manufacture and testing of COMS CPS are addressed in this paper. Feasibility of COMS CPS applicable to the other advanced mission is investigated as well.

친환경 추진제인 액체메탄을 연료로 사용하는 이원추진제 로켓엔진의 이론성능분석을 통해 엔진의 설계변수를 도출하였다. 엔진의 연소성능 예측을 위해 CEA를 활용한 화학평형해석을 수행하였으며, 추진제 혼합비 및 연소실 내부압력에 따른 연소성능 특성을 고찰하였다. 엔진의 특성길이 도출을 위해 1차원 액적기화모델을 적용하여 성능변수 변화에 따른 추진제의 기화시간을 계산하였으며, 지상연소 이론성능분석을 통해 메탄 이원추진제 로켓엔진의 설계제원을 제시하였다.

This paper is to consider analytical thermodynamic modeling of bipropellant propulsion system. The objective of thermodynamic modeling is to predict thermodynamic conditions such as pressures, temperatures and densities in the pressurant tank and the propellant tank in which heat and mass transfer occur. In this paper also it shows analytic equations that calculate the evolution of ullage volume and interface areas. Since the ullage interface areas are time-varying,(the liquid propellant volume decreases as the rocket engine is firing; the change of ullage volume correspond to the change of liquid propellant volume) for a numerical convenience non-dimensionalized correlations are commonly used in most literatures with limitations; a few percentages of inherent error. The analytic equations are derived from analytic geometry, subsequently without inherent error. Those equations are important to calculate the heat transfer areas in the heat transfer equations. It presents the comparison result of both analytic equations and correlation method.

This paper gives a brief overview of the COMS CPS development process from start to finish. The manufacturing techniques used for CPS were founded on established generic processes that have been developed and proven on previous satellite programs, and have used the expertise and facilities in the framework of international collaboration. Manufacture and testing of the CPS were successfully accomplished, and COMS CPS demonstrated good performance in the launch phase.

KARI has jointly developed COMS bipropellant propulsion system with EADS Astrium, UK. It is well known at the moment about American or even German efforts for space development and space propulsion activities. On the contrary UK's capability for space development hasn't been recognised well in Korea. The major space activities relevant to the development of chemical and electric propulsion systems in UK, in reference to our space propulsion programme are addressed in detail. In addition the collaboration in prospect between two countries is proposed.

고농도 과산화수소를 이용하는 1,200 N 급 이원추진제 로켓 엔진 개발을 위한 선행 연구의 일환으로 이원추진제 엔진 요소를 설계하고 실험적으로 연구하였다. 공급된 과산화수소의 분해 성능을 비교하기 위해, $MnO_2$와 Pb가 첨가된 $MnO_2$ 촉매들에 대한 실험을 하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로, 촉매 반응기를 설계하였으며, 97.2%의 분해 효율을 얻었다. 별도의 점화원이 없이 자연점화를 이용하기 위해, 다양한 당량비에 대해 자연점화 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 실험조건에서 자연 점화를 확인하였으며, $C^*$ 효율은 90% 혹은 그 이상을 보였다. 추력측정 결과, 가장 높은 추력은 830 N을 보였으며, $C^*$ 효율과 $I_{sp}$ 효율을 같다고 가정했을 때, 진공 추력 1,035 N으로 계산되었다.
