A hybrid sounding rocket carrying about 10kg payload reaching up to 15km altitude has been designed. The commercial seamless aluminium tube and liquid ${N_2}O$ without pressurization devices were chosen as rocket motor case and oxidizer supply system respectively. A hybrid rocket engine performing required propulsion impulse is designed with time dependent internal ballistic scheme. Engine performance, aerodynamic characteristics, and trajectory were predicted by a integral technique of internal ballistics and external ballistics. The design results were evaluated by comparison with previous experimental data, technical reports, and literatures.

A typical unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account of the erosive burning for a solid rocket motor. The variance of local velocity and pressure along grain surface are analyzed by using the continuity and momentum equation. The model introduced in this study showed good agreements with the results of previous internal ballistics program. It was investigated that the change of combustion pressure, gas velocity and regrestion rate along the grain axis.

In order to calculate the performance of the solid rocket motor, the internal ballistics analysis code using HLLC scheme has been developed. The result of applying the analysis code to the actual motor shape has been compared with the experimental results and it is confirmed that the performance of the solid rocket motor has been well calculated.

하이브리드 추진제는 연소 중 연료의 후퇴율 및 연소 면적의 변화로 인해 O/F비가 변화하므로 이로 인해 설계 및 해석에 어려움을 가지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 요구임무를 만족하는 하이브리드 로켓모터에 대한 설계를 수행하였다. 하이브리드 모터의 기초 설계를 실시하고 그 결과를 이용하여, 일정한 산화제 유량이 공급된다는 가정 하에, 연소 시 연소면적변화에 따른 O/F비 변화를 고려한 하이브리드 모터의 내탄도 해석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 이용하여 로켓의 외탄도 해석을 실시하였다.

A qualification of propellant for a AKM(Apogee Kick Motor) has been conducted by firing standard motors. The Standard motor used in developing process of KSLV-I's AKM is ST-6 whose diameter is about six inches. HTPB composite propellant are used in these motors. Several standard motors are fired and compared with simulation results. A mean value of characteristic velocity is 1518 m/s. The characteristic value for prediction is 1516 m/s, and the thrust loss is about 5.9%. Differences between the measurements and prediction are less than 3%.

This paper presents a two-phase model for hybrid rocket internal ballistics design using $N_2O$ as oxidizer The two-phase model results are compared with data obtained from static firing test. Two-phase model is suitable for blow-down type with saturated compressible fluid as $N_2O$, presented the result by Part 1. HDPE as Fuel, and $N_2O$ as oxidizer were used during the static firing test. The combustor were designed for an average thrust of 30 kgf where oxidizer tank pressure in set to 50 bar. The numerical results of internal ballistic showed good agreements with static firing test results where thrust, oxidizer tank pressure and chamber pressure are compared.

A typical unsteady internal ballistic analysis model was proposed to take account of the erosive burning with the variance of local velocity and pressure along the grain surface of a solid rocket combustor. To validate the model of concern in the study, both cases of non-erosive and erosive burning were compared with the previous researches with marginal accuracy. It was quantitatively investigated that the combustion pressure, grain length, initial temperature, and vaporization temperature of propellant affect the erosive burning characteristics.

Comparative study on propellant modeling has been investigated using a non-dimensional method and an one-dimensional method. The propellant location in the chamber can not be described by the non-dimensional method. It is, however, possible for the one-dimensional method to describe. Therefore, the analysis of the interior ballistics according to the propellant arrangements has been performed by the one-dimensional method. The negative differential pressure in the chamber could be predicted and the necessity of the one-dimensional modeling for the analysis of the interior ballistics has been confirmed.

The grain burn-back analysis has been performed for the internal ballistics analysis code to be used for the optimal design of the space launch vehicles. The grain burn-back has been used to calculate the burning surface that is essential to the internal ballistics. The calculation of internal ballistics code used in the optimal design is repeated until satisfying the required performance through the change of the design parameter. Therefore, the burn-back method applied to the internal ballistics analysis should be easy to change the design parameter and calculation time should be short. In this study, a burn-back analysis code has been developed using the analysis method. Also, geometric parameters of the grain have been selected and organized. The developed code has been verified by comparison of results of a numerical method.
