우주발사체 추적용 지상국비행종단지령장비는 위성발사체 발사 후 비행 중 일어날 수 있는 비상사태(비행안전영역을 벗어나거나 지상에서 더 이상 추적이 불가능할 경우)에 대하여 지상통제장치에서 비행종단을 명령하여 비행을 강제로 종단시키는 역할을 한다. 일반적으로 발사체에 비행종단을 명령하는 방식은 발사체의 종류 및 운용개념에 따라 다르게 적용되며, 가청주파수 대역의 톤 신호를 조합하는 IRIG 표준 톤 방식과 Secure 방식, 또한 잡음 및 보안특성에 강한 암호화 코드화 방식이 사용되고 있다. 본 글에서는 비행종단명령에 사용되는 다양한 전송방식 및 적용 사례를 살펴보고 세계 각국 및 국내 나로우주센터(고흥)에서 설치 운용 중인 지상국비행종단지령장비에 대한 운용개념 및 주요특성을 살펴보도록 한다.

In this paper, a conceptual design of a launch vehicles is proposed by combining Naro-1 and KSLV-II. For trans-lunar injection (TLI) to lunar orbit at 300 km LEO, the target performance is defined same as that of KSLV-II, which delivers an object of 2.6 tons into 300 km LEO. The proposal launch vehicle concept of this study is combination of 1st stage of KSLV-I and 2-3rd stage of KSLV-II. Thus, it is possible to reduce the development time and also could expand the options for national launch vehicle capabilities with proven technologies.

This study is a study to develop a configuration management methodology for efficient and systematic management in the event of configuration changes such as deformation, explosion, and remodeling of launch vehicle development test facilities, which are emerging as important national facilities in the era of full-scale space competition. Through the analysis of international standards for configuration management, a configuration management process framework to be applied to launch vehicle development test facilities is extracted, a survey was conducted on experts who performed life cycle engineering of launch vehicle development test facilities, and a configuration management methodology optimized for operation/management of domestic launch vehicle development test facilities was proposed. Identify the configuration for launch vehicle development test facilities, the configuration management manager, configuration management organization, and configuration management board approve/process the configuration changes, and after construction is completed according to design requirements, launch vehicle development test facilities try to manage the configuration in a controlled state.

In this paper, an assessment on the preliminary coupled load analysis results for advanced Low Earth Orbit Earth Observation satellite was performed. Spacecraft FE-model was converted into Craig-Bampton model consisting of mass matrix, stiffness matrix, acceleration transformation matrix, displacement transformation matrix, and it was delivered to the launch vehicle developer. Launch vehicle developer performed a coupled load analysis with launch vehicle model and spacecraft Craig-Bampton model, and the coupled load analysis results were provided to us. From the assessment on the analysis results, it was verified that spacecraft is safe under launch environment.

This paper suggests the significant strategies and their priority to deal with space transportation market trends. First, market trends related with technical improvement and change in demand are analyzed by the literature research. The three key trends are obtained: 'Increasing Demand of High-Performance Launch Vehicles', 'Rising of Low-Price Launch Vehicles', and 'Rising of Dual/Multi-Launch'. And then, strategies for developing the launch vehicle industry in Korea are selected from several studies about commercialization of Korean launch vehicle. The strategies are evaluated by the experts through pairwise comparison matrix and the criteria for this process is how significantly does the strategy effect on the launch vehicle industry through market assessment. As a result, reliable order of priority among the strategies are obtained. Under the three key trends, strategy to enhance reliability is most important. And, strategy to have price competitiveness has secondary priority to deal with 'Rising of Low-Price Launch Vehicles' trend and 'Rising of Dual/Multi-Launch' trend. On the contrary, strategy of government's support is secondary under 'Increasing Demand of High-Performance Launch Vehicles' trend.

The launch vehicle upper stage generally executes collision and contamination avoidance maneuver after the satellite separation. Through this maneuver the satellite safely settles in its orbit and the launch vehicle moves away from the satellite with minimum contamination. In this paper collision and contamination avoidance maneuvers by foreign launch vehicles are analyzed. Criteria for satellite contamination during the avoidance maneuver is given for KSLV-I upperstage.

It had been almost a half century since Apollo Mission was ended. However, in these days, a lot of researches are being conducted for restoration and making improvements in technologies used in Saturn V rocket's development. This study reviews the first stage of Saturn V rocket(S-IC), from development history to technologies in various subsystems such as engine purge system, POGO suppression system, hydraulic and pneumatic control system, propellant dispersion system, telemetry system and retrorocket system. Understandings of S-IC stage's operation systems would be helpful in understanding of launch vehicle system and reduction of time and cost in future development process.

The three neighbors of Korean peninsula, Japan, China, Russia are leading countries of the world as national power and economic power. They are also leading the field of science, particularly top class in the space development. In comparison, our country, Korea, has been going on develop new launch vehicle and building new launch complex in accordance with national space program. In this paper, examining the technical trends of launch complex of Russia and China which based on Russian rocket technologies and it will make a reference for KSLV-II and future space program through this information.

조립 후 발사대로 이송된 추진기관(또는 발사체)는 지상시험 및 비행시험을 위한 충전을 하게 되는데, 추진제 및 고압가스 등 추진기관 구성품의 운용절차는 하드웨어의 설계 단계에서 그 개념이 수립되어야 한다. 다시 말해, 발사체 및 추진기관 설계 단계에서 연료와 산화제의 충전/배출, 시험 취소시의 운용절차 개념이 수립되어 있어야 추진기관 구성품들의 설계, 지상인터페이스 구성품의 설계에 그 내용이 반영될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 발사체 및 추진기관 운용와 관련된 일반적인 충전/배출 절차와 지연 또는 취소시의 작업절차의 주요개념을 다루었고, 추진기관 운용에 필요한 각종 지상설비에 요구되는 주요 기능을 검토하였다. 또한, 추진제 충전 이후 발사 대기시까지의 업무와 발사 전에 수행되어야 하는 추진기관 운용 업무(Pre-Launch Operation)도 다루었다. 특히 다단 발사체의 경우에는 운용과 관련된 준비 업무량이 단수에 비례하여 늘어나므로, 효율적으로 모든 시험 준비 업무를 마치기 위해, 지상에서의 추진기관 운용절차는 각 단별로 유기적으로 진행되어야 한다. 즉, 각 단별 하드웨어에 대한 사전 검사, 충전, 대기 등의 운용시간 설계 및 그 절차가 중요하다. 한국형 발사체 및 추진기관의 운용 개념설계를 수행하는데에는 기 확보된 운용기술을 활용하였다.

The responsibility of the vehicle holding device (VHD) is to hold the launch vehicle while it is stayed on launch pad and release the holding mechanism to allow a lift-off of launch vehicle at a moment of lift-off. During a release of the holding mechanism, in order to prevent the Ka doing a doing a doing mode which is vertical oscillation of entire liquid propellant and very severe for vehicle structure, gradual release of holding force is required. Also, a release operation of all 4 VHD should be synchronized very precisely. In this study, to comply the "gradual release and synchronized operation requirement", concept of VHD hydraulic system using an accumulator, pyro valve and orifice to control speed of hydraulic cylinder is proposed instead of using complicated hydraulic components. Then through multi-body dynamic analysis and computational hydraulic analysis, a size of orifice to meet a target speed of hydraulic cylinder is calculated. Through this study, simple and reliable VHD hydraulic system complying requirements is designed.
