The Qualification Test of KSLV-I(NARO) Assembly Complex

Ground Complex, which is located at Naro Space Center, consists of Assembly Complex(AC) and Launch Complex(LC) which is necessary for successful launch of KSLV-I(NARO). AC consists of Assembly/Testing Building(ATB), Payload Processing Building(PPB), Kick Motor Building(KMB). The purpose of AC is accepting of KSLV-I components, testing, checkout, assembly(disassembly) of the launch vehicle(LV), readiness for transferring LV to LC, accepting of integrated Launch Vehicle(ILV) in case of launch cancellation and short/long time storage, and so on. Qualification tests(QT) for the total system at AC are carried out to check hardware used for operations with first stage unit mockup, upper stage unit Mockup and integrated mockup(GTV). The qualification tests is carried out according to program and procedures of QT. By course of this process, AC is certificated that all the systems and facilities of AC are guaranteed by the fulfillment of technological operations envisioned in the program of qualification tests during the work with the mock-up.
