A launch vehicle is a one of the biggest hardware among the products of human technology. For huge size launch vehicles, to transport to Launch Complex and to erect on launch pad precisely and safely is very critical issue. Therefore, a final assembly, transportation, erection and holding in vertical position in launch pad requires very precise operational technology, processes and related aggregates. Those operational concept has been developed to comply with the requirement of each launch vehicle and technology level at that time. In this paper, a progress of operational methodology in global launch vehicles are described. In addition, methodologies used on the KSLV-1 Naro and the KSLV-II Nuri launch vehicle are introduced.

Bogie(The Launch vehicle transporter) is the special land transportation vehicle for the LV (Launch vehicle) which is used for not only the transportation-means of LV from LVAB(Launch Vehicle Assembly Building) to LP(Launch Pad) but also one of principal tools for launch operation sequence. Due to the multi-role of Bogie, The technical requirements of bogie are very complicated. Especially launch operation has performed with not only bogie but also many ground support equipments. So, it is impossible to establish technical requirements of bogie without whole understanding of launch operation. This paper was made for arranging whole launch operation sequence and technical requirements of bogie based on the this sequence.

This paper is about the results in Qualification Management activity performed between the Autonomous Test(AT) season(August. 2008) of Launch Complex and the 2nd flight test season(June. 10, 2010) of KSLV-I. All cryogenic fluids(LOX, $LN_2$) and compressed gases(Air, $GN_2$, GHe) were qualified by qualification management activity during AT(Autonmous Test), QT(Qualification Test) season for LP(Launch Pad) and LVAB(Launch Vehicle Assembly Building) and FT(Flight Test) season of KLSV-I. As the results, total 428 times of check analysis and 111 times of full analysis were performed.

The satellite is exposed to the severe vibration environments such as random vibration environments such as random vibration, acceleration, shock, and acoustics during launch ascent and transportation. It is also faced with various space environments such as thermal vacuum, radiation and microgravity during the mission life. The satellite should be designed, manufactured, assembled and tested to be able to endure in these harsh environments. This paper addresses the results of the structural and thermal design and analyses for the HAUSAT-1 picosatellite which is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2005 by Russian launch vehicle "Dnepr". The qualification vibration and thermal vacuum tests have been conducted and passed at the satellite level to ensure that the HAUSAT-1 mechanical system was designed to be stable with enough margin.
