It was reviewed about the pressure oscillation on the inlet of turbo-pump at the moment of engine startup and shutdown. Specially, This research was performed how much is the effect of PSD(Pogo Suppression Device) about the pressure oscillation on the inlet of turbo-pump at the moment of engine startup and shutdown. For analysis, propellant tank PSD and Engine are modelled with Flowmaster which is the commercial 1D program. As the analysis results, even though the PSD is installed in the pipeline, the pressure drop or rising at the moment of engine startup and shutdown is same compared to the case without PSD. However, it was confirmed that PSD reduces the pressure oscillation of the high frequency band as the original purpose of PSD.

Kick motor(KM) for KSLV-I second stage propulsion system is the main hardware that is necessary for launching satellite to it's track. The mass of the kick motor changes with combustion time because the heat insulator is ablated and propellant is used and slag is piled up. We predicted mass change with the flight time using ground combustion data of KM composed of case, propellant, nozzle, ignitor and slag. The mass prediction of kick motor can be used for calculating the two stage mass and center of gravity history.

The propulsion system of space launch vehicle generates thrust by supplying oxidizer and fuel to combustion chamber. KSLV-II 2nd stage engine, currently under development by KARI, is to use liquid oxygen as a oxidizer and JET-A1 as a fuel. The 2nd stage pump-fed engine is mainly composed of combustion chamber, turbo-pump and engine supply system. To develop liquid propulsion engine, the development of combustion chamber must be preceded. For performance validation of the combustion chamber, the designed and manufactured combustion chamber should be tested in combustion chamber test facility(CCTF). The detailed design for the planned CCTF in Naro Space Center was conducted. The fuel supply system modeling using AMESim was performed based on the results of the detailed design, and the fuel supply characteristics was analyzed in this paper.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) is developing Korea Space Launch Vehicle(KSLV). KSLV-I is composed of liquid propulsion system for the first stage and apogee kick motor as the second stage. Kick motor has a high expansion ratio nozzle and its starting altitude is 300km high. To verify the performance of kick motor, high altitude test facility (HATF) to simulate its operating condition is necessary. This paper contains preliminary design for construction of HATF.

Generally, the first stage of a launch vehicle requires high thrust to achieve a mission. We can use one high thrust level engine or a clustered engine system which made of several small thrust level engines to make high thrust. The first stage propulsion system of KSLV-II has 300tf thrust to satisfy the mission. But it is impractical to make high thrust by one engine at this moment in time. So we should cluster four 75tf class engines which can be applied to make a required thrust for the first stage propulsion system. This article deals with the concept of the first stage clustered engine arrangement of KSLV-II.

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.
