  • KSLV-II, a new launch vehicle of Korea, requires a new launch complex(LC) for its own and proper launch operations. The new launch complex will be constructed in NARO Space Center neighboring KSLV-I launch complex for maximizing operation efficiency and economic matters. The launch complex consists of three ground support equipments, i.e., mechanical, electrical, and fuel in general. The fuel ground support equipment could be defined as a combination of systems for storage and supply of propellants and gases which are required by a launch vehicle. The compositions, functions and capabilities of fuel ground support equipment are introduced in this paper. In addition, basic design results of flame deflector configurations are included.
