고고도로 비행하는 위성발사체의 로켓모터는 압력이나 열적인 조건등이 지상과는 다른 저압환경에서 작동되기 때문에 그 성능이나 기능에 큰 영향을 받는다. 따라서 정확한 로켓의 추력과 자체의 신뢰성향상을 도모하기 위해서 로켓모터의 작동시험을 지상에서 저압환경을 모의하여 수행할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 저압환경을 위한 시험장치의 종류 및 성능특성과 설계방법을 논하였다.

This paper deals with a post-processing of GPS receiver data in order to acquire a reference flight trajectory of an aircraft test. The flight test using an aircraft that is carried out several times since 2007 is the integrated test to verify the performance of the tracking and communications facilities in Naro Space Center and Jeju Tracking Center. In order to analyze performance of the tracking and navigation equipments, true reference data should be used for performance comparisons. Therefore off-the-shelf commercial GPS receiver, DL-V3 made by NovAtel Inc., is operated on the test to collect the GPS navigation data and the collected data is post-processed by GrafNav which is the off-the-shelf post-processing program made by NovAtel Inc. Through the post-processing of the collected data, a reference trajectory is generated with small error range about several decade centimeter level.

A liquid rocket engine experiences various static loads in flight, such as high pressures due to propellents, thrust and thermal loads due to cryogenic liquid oxygen and combustion gas with extreme vibration. During the engine development stage, structural analyses and investigation on the strain measured from ground firing tests are necessary for determining the structural reliability of the engine. In this study, the strain characteristics, obtained from the ground firing tests of a 75 tonf-class engine, were analyzed.

A UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) flies along pre-programed navigation points(in-flight, take-off, or landing) automatically without pilot input. Even though UAVs fly differently from general piloted aircraft as the pilot controls the aircraft from a ground station through means of a data-link system. Occasionally, the data-link connection can be lost for any number of reasons, in which case, the FLCC(Flight control Computer) must automatically switch to autopilot to continue flying. Hence, the FLCC is a flight-critical component that must be throughly tested and validated. This paper discusses the development of a HILS(Hardware in the Loop Simulation) test environment designed to simulate real flight conditions to verify the FLCC satisfies flying quality requirements and maintains robustness despite any potential malfunctions or emergency situations.

Recently, interests about frame error reduction method, using multiple PCM data which are received at several ground stations, are increasing. Simple data merge method is already applied to data processing system at Naro Space Center and have been used in the first and the second flight test analysis of KSLV-I. This paper is focused on error reduction with error correcting merge algorithm and time-delayed data correction algorithm. Result of applying the proposed algorithms to the flight test data shows 1.32% improvement in error rate, compared to simple-data-merge method. It is considered that presented algorithms could be very useful in generating various telemetry merge data.

This research illustrates how the simulation environment for operating the simultaneous man/unmanned aerial vehicle teaming is constructed. X-Plane program, HILS for the ducted fan aircraft (unmanned) and CTLS (manned aircraft) with communication devices are interfaced to simulate the basic co-operational flight. The X-plane and HILS can allow operators to experience the maned and unmanned aircraft operation in the airspace on the ground in turn they can perform various simulated missions in advance before the actual flight. For the test purpose, the data link between man/unmanned aircraft and ground control station is examined using C Band and UHF radio channels by the manned aircraft.

Contrail is a kind of cloud that is formed during the flight by vapor condensation of engine exhaust in a cold atmospheric condition. Owing to the negative effects of contrails on the environment and in military applications, several studies for contrail mitigation had been performed in developed countries. The goal of this research is to design a lab-scale contrail generator, and to validate the contrail mitigation technology suggested by previous studies. The contrail generator was made using superheated vapor and a low temperature wind tunnel. Using this generator, the ineffectiveness of ethanol and surfactant suggested in the previous paper on contrail mitigation was found experimentally.

In this paper, the optimal placement of the rotary wing's communication and navigation antennas was evaluated by measuring their performance through ground simulations and flight tests. To select the mounting position of the communication and navigation antenna on the helicopter, after considering the shape and characteristics of the airframe, the radiation patterns, coupling analysis, equipment operation profiles, and antenna type analysis were performed for the aircraft-mounted antenna. Based on the analysis results, a procedure for sequentially performing voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) measurement and antenna pattern test was established through ground and flight tests of the antenna. The systematic performance measurement method and procedure proposed in this paper were verified through ground and flight tests of the Light Armed Helicopter (LAH) system.

The ground oxidizer supply system in the launch site of NARO space center had operated 9 times from the start of tests with ILV on May, 2009 to the 2nd flight test of the NARO vehicle. This system operated successfully for twice launches of the NARO vehicle. To judge the successful operation of the ground facility, it should have reproducibility and reliability. In this report, we have analyzed the liquid oxygen consumption of the system to judge of its reproducibility and it can be a reference for using this system for the next generation of KSLV system.
