We assume that the KOREASAT fails the entry of the geostationary orbit due to the error at the apogee kick motor firing. A simulation is done for the satellite that has a geosynochronous orbit with a non-zero degree inclination angle due to the failure at the apogee kick motor firing caused by the unbalance of the fuel storage and the spin of the thrust vector, etc. We analyzed the evolution of the orbit using the perturbation theory and calculated the changes of the eccentricity and the inclination. WHen a communication satellite has the figure eight trajectory, the beam point also traces the satellite. In this paper, We develope an algorithm to attack the above problem by stabilizing the beam point using the adjustment of the roll angle of the satellite. The spin action on the polarization plane that occurs when a satellite passes the ascending node and descending node affects the efficiency of the communication a lot, so we did another simulation for the better yaw angle adjustment for the KOREASAT to reduce the spin actino on the polarization plane.

Both structural analysis and hydraulic test have been conducted to confirm the burst characteristics of filament wound solid motor case. Failure criteria have been defined with bursting above 150% of MEOP and failure in the cylinder. The results of analysis showed that filament fiber in the cylinder should be broken at about 2088psig. From a hydraulic test the same failure mode and the level of 2200psig of burst pressure have been proved. With these results, it is verified that a filament wound case meets burst requirements.

KSLV-I KM plume including alumina particle has been studied using the continuum solver. Alumina particles are assumed to have 7 different diameters, and the specific ratio of the plume gas is assumed to be 1.2, with which the internal nozzle flow characteristics are similar to those of the chemically equilibrium analysis results. The results showed that the expansion angle of the particles is smaller than that of the gas phase, and that the big sized alumina particles are gathered in the plume core and the expansion angles of the big sized particles are smaller than those of the light particles. When the emissivity of the particles are assumed to be 0.1, the radiative heat flux is equivalent to those measured during the flight test of KSLV-I.

Radiative properties of alumina particles which is the main element of the plume from booster and kick motor used for increasing thrust and insertion into the orbit is analyzed. In order to derive the wavelength integrated (i.e., gray) emissivity, emission term in radiative transfer equation is rearranged to be able to tie up with the parameters induced from fundamental particle scattering Mie theory. Result shows that derived gray emissivity with optical properties increases with temperature rising.

잠입노즐은 로케트 추진기관의 길이 및 중량을 감소시켜 체계설계의 관점에서 볼 때 많은 이점을 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 3단형 과학로케트 원지점 차넣기 모타(apogee kick motor)에 적용하기위한 잠입노즐의 기초기술 개발에 주안점을 두었다. 고고도에서 저속으로 회전하며 비행하는 원지점 차넣기 모타를 제작하기위해서 체계 요구성능에 의해 예상된 실물형의 50% 크기에 해당하는 축소형 잠입노즐을 제작하였다. 잠입노즐은 잠입부의 내외부가 고온의 추진제 연소가스에 노출된 상태에서 노즐 내부 압력 외에 연소실압에 의한 외부압력이 작용하므로 이를 고려한 열 및 구조설계가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 노즐 수렴부와 목부에 일체형 그라파이트 소재를 적용하고 확장부 내열재 및 잠입부 배면내열재에 탄소/페놀 복합재를 노즐 내열재로 사용하였다. 그리고 이들의 구조적 지지를 위해 스틸구조물을 적용하였다. 적용된 스틸구조물에는 K형 열전쌍을 이용해 내열재와 구조물 온도를 측정할 수 있는 관통구멍 및 나사부를 구조물 외변에 가공하였다. 열전쌍은 노즐 목직경의 2, 4배 되는 확장부 내열재 단면위치의 2mm와 4mm 깊이와 구조물 내면 및 외면의 4개소에 열전쌍을 부착하여 지상연소시험시 노즐 내열재와 구조물의 온도분포를 관찰한다. 그리고 노즐 조립시 확장부 내열재와 구조물에 각 각 반원형 홈을 내어 여분의 접착제가 원형 홈에 밀려들어가 경화되어 노즐 기밀유지와 체결력을 향상시킬 수 있는 원형공간 접착제 충전 공법을 적용하여 실제모타에 대한 적용가능성을 지상연소시험을 통해 확인한다.

The satellite payloaded on the 2nd stage of KSLV-I is planned to perform CCAM(Contamination and Collision Avoidance Maneuver) not to collide with KM(Kick Motor). At the moment, the satellite should pass through low density environment not to be contaminated by KM plume due to residual thrust. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the flow field of KM plume by residual thrust. In this paper, DSMC (Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo) method, which is widely accepted to simulate in rarefied regime, is used to compute the density field of KM plume by residual thrust and the result of DSMC simulation was compared with that of FLUENT to validate it.

Using X-Window system (Motif Graphic User Interface), the AKM (Apogee Kick Motor) firing software for Koreasat which will be launched in 1995 has been developed to transfer the spacecraft from its transfer orbit, provided by the DeltaII launch vehicle, into a nearly geostationary drift orbit. The AKM firing software runs in one of two modes. In mission analysis mode, using a fixed magnitude impulsive velocity change, it provides the necessary data for planning the burn parameters. In insert mode, it uses the orbit propagator function to integrate the spacecraft state through the AKM burn. In this case, an AKM thrust profile and specific impulse are applied to the necessary data for planning the burn parameters to obtain the best possible drift orbit. The apogee burn planning simulation for orbital transfer of Koreasat has been performed using the AKM firing software. And the result of this simulation has been analyzed.

Ground Complex, which is located at Naro Space Center, consists of Assembly Complex(AC) and Launch Complex(LC) which is necessary for successful launch of KSLV-I(NARO). AC consists of Assembly/Testing Building(ATB), Payload Processing Building(PPB), Kick Motor Building(KMB). The purpose of AC is accepting of KSLV-I components, testing, checkout, assembly(disassembly) of the launch vehicle(LV), readiness for transferring LV to LC, accepting of integrated Launch Vehicle(ILV) in case of launch cancellation and short/long time storage, and so on. Qualification tests(QT) for the total system at AC are carried out to check hardware used for operations with first stage unit mockup, upper stage unit Mockup and integrated mockup(GTV). The qualification tests is carried out according to program and procedures of QT. By course of this process, AC is certificated that all the systems and facilities of AC are guaranteed by the fulfillment of technological operations envisioned in the program of qualification tests during the work with the mock-up.

Atmospheric drag is the most significant factor effecting the low Earth satellites under the altitude of 800 km Although the atmospheric density of the low Earth orbit is very low compared to that of the sea level, the accumulated effect of the atmospheric drag slowly lowers the satellite velocity at the perigee. Decrease in velocity at perigee directly causes decrease in altitude at apogee which changes the eccentricity of the orbit. The orbit finally reaches a circular orbit before reentering the Earth. This paper states the methods of calculating the atmospheric drag and the lifetime of the satellite. The lifetime of the kick motor and the satellites which will be used on KSLV-L are calculated by Satellite Tool Kit.
