  • Korea Aerospace Research Institute has being developed a staged combustion cycle rocket (SCCR) engine with high specific impulse to send a 3-ton class satellite into geostationary orbit while conducted Korean Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV) II project. The SCCR engine is different from the KSLV-II engine, which is open cycle engine using a gas-generator. The SCCR engine with closed cycle is composed of a pre-burner, a turbo pump, and a main combustor. The technology demonstration model (TDM0) was assembled and tested in the 7ton-class engine combustion test facility of Naro Space Center, and the combustion test was successfully conducted. Afterward engine-shaped SCCR engine model (TDM1) is being designed and developed for the next combustion test.

  • STSAT-2 will be launched on December 2007 by the first Korean launch vehicle KSLV-1, and its one of the main instruments is DREAM (Dual Channel Radio Frequency and Environment Atmosphere Monitoring) which detects a signal for atmosphere from the Earth by using micro-wave signal. The STSAT-2 has many units for technology demonstration such as FDSS (Fine Digital Sun Sensor) and DHST (Dual Head Star Tracker) including PPT (Pulsed Plasma Thruster) for attitude control and momentum dumping in the space. In this paper, the power budget analysis for STSAT-2 will be studied and provided for supporting the whole mission life time during the mission of its spacecraft.

  • We developed a heavy-duty work class ROV trencher named URI-T (Underwater robot it's trencher) that can conduct burial and maintenance tasks for underwater cables and small diameter pipelines. It requires various supporting systems, including a dynamic positioning (DP) vessel, launch and recovery system (LARS), A-frame, and winch in order to perform burial tasks because of its dimensions (6.5 m × 5.0 m × 4.5 m, 20 t) and the tough working environment. However, operating a DP vessel has disadvantages as it is expensive to rent and operate and it is difficult to adjust the working schedule for some domestic coast construction cases. In this paper, we propose a method using a barge instead of a DP vessel to avoid the above disadvantages. Although burying the cable and pipeline using a barge has lower working efficiency than a DP vessel, it can save construction expenses and does not require a large crew. The proposed method was applied over two months at the construction of the water supply in Yokji-do, and the results were verified.

  • Carbon deposition on the turbine nozzle throat of a LOx/kerosene gas generator cycle(open cycle) engine causes performance reduction of the engine. Estimation methods for a turbine nozzle throat area are proposed. The discharge coefficient of the turbine nozzle was estimated with the turbine gas properties such as gas constant, specific heat ratio, and temperatures. The pressure ratio and temperature ratio of the turbine nozzle throat, was utilized to estimate the discharge coefficient also. Estimated discharge coefficient of turbine nozzle throat of KSLV-II 1st stage engine shows the carbon deposition effects on the turbine nozzle throat of a LOx/kerosene open cycle engine.

  • 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 oxidizer supply system modeling using AMESim was performed based on the results of the detailed design, and the oxidizer supply characteristics was analyzed in this paper.

  • The system analysis and design program of the liquid rocket engine has been developed for preliminary conceptual design process. The program analyzes the engine system and obtains optimal design variables by optimization methods such as genetic algorithm for the higher specific impulse and thrust to weight ratio using given input parameters and requirements. For the users' convenience, the GUI has been offered. The 3-dimensional model for the visualization of results has been interconnected with the CATIA program. The results are expected to be applied to the design process of the space launch vehicle for the analysis and selection of the propulsion system.

  • A 2-way solenoid valve regulates to maintain the pressure of ullage volume of propellant tanks when the command is given by control system for the liquid-propellant feeding system of space launch vehicle. The simulation model of solenoid valve for pressurization is designed with AMESim to verify the designs and evaluate the dynamic characteristics and pneumatic behaviors of valve. To improve the accuracy of the model, numerical flow analysis by using FLUNET code. The simulation results of their operating durations of valve by AMESim analysis are matched up with the results of experiments and validate valve model. Using the model, we analyze performance of valve; opening/closing pressure, operating time on various design factors of basic valve and control valve; geometrical size of valve seat, ratio of basic valve and sealing area.

  • A basic numerical analysis was performed to confirm the possibility of combining a dual bell nozzle and an Expansion-Deflection(E-D) nozzle. The dual bell nozzle was designed based on the first-stage nozzle of the Korean Space Launch Vehicle that is being developed, and the E-D nozzle concept was applied to the dual bell nozzle. The inlet condition was analyzed by applying eight types of frozen flow analysis, and k-${\omega}$ SST was selected as the turbulence model. The number of optimal grids was obtained as 240,000 through the grid sensitivity analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that the transition altitude increased owing to over-expansion when the E-D nozzle concept was applied to the dual bell nozzle, and the specific impulse gain was obtained at high altitudes compared with the KSLV-II first-stage engine.

  • This paper deals with the rise of Islamic scheme of security in Indonesia's longstanding traditions of vigilantism since the fall of Suharto's New Order regime. For that purpose, in comparison with other modes of the securitization process on morality issues that functioned by the end of New Order, I discuss the background that enables Islamic security to launch off, and the process of institutionalization and the practices of Islamic security agenda. I then argue how that scheme relates to power and moral legitimacy, and how it shapes the way of perceiving self and society. Through this ethnographic analysis of the rhetorical and institutional changes to the scheme of security in Indonesia, this paper demonstrates how the social stress in the reform era, which is mediated by the ideas of globalization and Islam, is put into the securitization process, and how Indonesian society imagines its future through the Islamic vehicle of security.
