Acoustic coupled combustion instability, which is one of the most undesirable phenomena in the development of liquid propellant rocket engine, can cause serious damage to a rocket itself, and must be avoided by all means. Unfortunately, KSR-III rocket went through combustion instability during engine start at the propulsion test article No.2. To resolve the problem, time sequence (cyclogram) has been changed, and baffle system has been applied. In consequence of change, stable combustion was achieved.

Thermoacoustic oscillation, which stems from phase correlation between unsteady heat release and acoustic fluctuation, can cause severe vibration and incite the excessive local heat transfer inside the rocket engine. It is very important to understand and prevent this phenomenon in the way of rocket engine development. In this study, the propulsion test facility of KSR-III, which is the first liquid propellant rocket developed by KARI, will be introduced. and the characteristics of thermoacoustic ocillation occurred at the facility will be examined.

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 development process of KSR-III propulsion feeding system is subscripted. The purpose of propulsion feeding system is to feed a certain amount of propellant from propellant tank to engine by the end of combustion. Pressure-fed liquid rocket, KSR-III has the unique characteristics of both pressure regulator and cavitation venturi as a passive flow control device. Main parameters of feeding system are confirmed by both water test and CFD(전산유체) technique. Flow control effect with venturi is confirmed by water test. Initial stabilization characteristic of pressure regulator is confirmed by real propellant test. And, to avoid the effect of resonance between rocket and feeding system, this article deal with POGO(포고) analysis to the feeding system.

A liquid rocket engine experiences various static loads in flight, such as high pressures due to propellents, thrust and thermal loads due to cryogenic liquid oxygen and combustion gas with extreme vibration. During the engine development stage, structural analyses and investigation on the strain measured from ground firing tests are necessary for determining the structural reliability of the engine. In this study, the strain characteristics, obtained from the ground firing tests of a 75 tonf-class engine, were analyzed.

Many types of new Korean Firearms were developed during the reign of King Se Jong(1418~1450). After the Chong-Tong-Deung-Rok(1448), the Ju-hwa was renamed as the Sin-Gi-Jeon. There was four kinds of rocket propelled arrows : So(small), Chung(medium), Dae(large) and San-hwa(multiple bomblets)-Sin-Gi-Jeon. Dae-Sin-Gi-Jeon is known to be the best and the largest of any rocket propelled arrows in the 15th century. This paper describes its flight test result.

Based on the national space development project, the necessity of developing liquid propellant rocket engine is revealed to secure the basic technology for the development of individual artificial-satellite launcher. Consequently, KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is developing a liquid propellant rocket engine for the KSR-III. Currently, a prototype engine using kerosene/LOx which produces 13-ton thrust is designed, fabricated and tested. In this paper, test procedure and technique for liquid propellant rocket engine are introduced with the analysis of static and dynamic test data.

In this paper, Underwater propulsion test of SWASH(Small Waterplane Area Single Hull) type underwater vehicle with hybrid rocket system is performed. Watertight structure is applied to prevent a combustion chamber from water, and the control logic is constructed by setting the watertight ignition sequence. As a results, It is confirmed that the ignition is stable in water, and the propulsion system works well along the configured control sequence.

A test range for a 75tf class gas generator cycle liquid propellant rocket engine is defined. The engine system test range is defined by the performance variation during flight, the dispersion after engine calibration, and additional margin. The component development test range includes the operation range corresponding to the engine system test range and the component performance margin.
