  • Published : 2004.03.01

Abstract

KARI is achieving the KSLV program according to National Space Technology Development Program. In this paper, the authors are intended to introduce the Integrated Power Plant (abb. IPP) test facility which will be constructed for the variety of tests on KSLV program. IPP test facility refers to comprehensive testing equipment for liquid rocket launch vehicle. Using this facility, KARl can verify the adaptiveness of parts and subsystems for launch vehicle and finally can qualify the system characteristics of launch vehicle doing kinds of test including hot firing test. Using this facility, KARI can simulate the vehicle launching circumstances and it make to predict the performance of launch vehicle when its flight test.
