  • Liquid-propellant rocket engines are widely used all over the world, thanks to their high performances thrust, in particular high thrust-to-weight ratio. The sucess rate of the launching of the liquid propulsion is similar to the solid one even though it has more complex mechanical system. In general, liquid propulsion is seemed as a mature technology, the requirements of a renewed interest for space exploration has led to the development of a family of new engines, with more design margins, simpler to use and to produce associated with a wide variety of thrust and life requirements.

  • KSR-III is the first Korean sounding rocket propelled by a liquid propellant propulsion system and it has been developed over 5 years using purely domestic technologies. The propulsion system of KSR-III is a 13-ton class see-level thrust liquid rocket engine(LRE) which utilizes liquid oxygen and kerosene for its propellants and employed pressurized propellant feeding and ablative cooling system. The problem of combustion instabilities which has brought the most difficulty in the development was resolved by implementation of a baffle. Through the development of KSR-III LRE, meaningful achievements have been made in the core technologies of LRE such as design of injectors and combustion chambers and test, evaluation, and control of combustion instabilities. The acquired technologies will be applied to the development of higher performance LREs necessary for future space development programs such as Korean Small Launch Vehicles(KSLV) In this paper, the development of KRE-III LRE system is described including its design, analyses. performance tests and evaluation.

  • Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) performed the conceptual design of rocket engine test facility for the development and qualification of the 3rd stage liquid rocket engine for KSLV-II. The 3rd stage rocket engine test facility, which are to be constructed at Naro Space Center, will supply propellants and high-pressure gases to engine for firing test at ground and altitude conditions. The altitude test condition is obtained using a supersonic diffuser operated by the self-ejecting jet from the liquid rocket engine.

  • The prelaunch thermal transients in the cryogenic oxidizer tank of liquid propulsion rocket subjected to uniform heat flux from outside are numerically analyzed through thermodynamic equations and heat and mass transfer relations. The prelaunch stage is assumed to be composed of five idealized sub-stages including pressurization process by helium gas injection. The Peng-Robinson equation of state is utilized in the lumped analysis of ullage gas. The liquid region is divided into a number of horizontal layers of uniform properties to account for the thermal stratification. The computational result for the typical case shows that the temperature rise of liquid oxidizer is less than 1K and the adsorbed helium into the liquid is approximately 10g.
