KSLV-II, a new launch vehicle of Korea, requires a new launch complex(LC) for its own and proper launch operations. The new launch complex will be constructed in NARO Space Center neighboring KSLV-I launch complex for maximizing operation efficiency and economic matters. The launch complex consists of three ground support equipments, i.e., mechanical, electrical, and fuel in general. The fuel ground support equipment could be defined as a combination of systems for storage and supply of propellants and gases which are required by a launch vehicle. The compositions, functions and capabilities of fuel ground support equipment are introduced in this paper. In addition, basic design results of flame deflector configurations are included.

The KSLV-II launch complex system consists of mechanical ground support equipment(MGSE), fuel ground support equipment(FGSE), electrical ground support equipment(EGSE) and infrastructures. Compressed gas supply system, as a part of FGSE, is responsible for launch operations such as gas intake, storage, supply to launch vehicle and ground support equipments. This system consists of three primary elements such as gas storage part, control panel and controller. Automatic panels, as a part of control panel, are manufactured to operate remotely by controller. This study presents compressed gas supply system which is designed for KSLV-II and ground support equipment characteristics.

본 연구에서는 Boeing사에서 개발한 EASY5 프로그램을 이용하여 터보팬 엔진을 모델링하고 성능해석을 수행하였다. 연구대상 엔진인 BR715-56 엔진은 추력이 20,000lbf급인 2 스풀 터보팬 엔진으로 분리흐름(Separate Flow) 형이다. 엔진은 팬, 압축기, 연소기, 저압터어빈, 압축기터어빈, 팬 노즐 및 Core 노즐로 구성되어 있으며 Station No.는 Fig 1과 같다. 연구에 사용된 EASY5 프로그램은 동역학 시스템을 모델링하고 해석하는 프로그램으로, 제공되는 라이브러리 구성품을 이용하여 보다 쉽게 동적 시스템을 모델링할 수 있다. 또한 Steady-State Solver를 이용하여 정적 평형상태를 빠른 시간에 찾을 수 있어 보다 빠른 해석을 수행할 수 있다. 또한 해석된 동역학 모델을 FORTRAN이나 C 코드로 생성하여 제공함으로써 프로그램의 수정이나 보완이 용이하고, 제공되지 않은 시스템의 라이브러리 구성품의 경우에는 사용자 정의 코드를 만들어 사용함으로써 프로그램의 기능을 확장할 수 있다. EASy5는 대표적인 제어기 설계 소프트웨어인 MATLAB, MATRIX-x와의 호환도 가능하며 NASTRAN등과 같은 유한요소 해석 프로그램과의 데이터 공유도 가능하여 보다 폭 넓은 시스템 모델링과 제어기 설계도 쉽게 할 수 있다.

A Test Facility was established to carry out the integrated propulsion performance tests(IPPT). To perform IPPT's with maximum safety, an emergency blockage system was investigated. An emergency blockage system using combustion chamber pressure and acceleration signals was set up to monitor ignition delay and fail, flame out, propellant feeding status, unstable combustion and excessive structural vibration. With such system, the maximum safety could be secured by rapid judgement and follow-up measures, which made IPPT's be safely completed.

The design method to calculate the main features of propellant tank pressurization system during the development procedure of propellant feed system of the liquid rocket engine was suggested. We have considered the influences of parameters of pressurization gas on the efficiency of the thermodynamic processes in the tank. The optimum value of temperature and velocity of pressurization gas at the entrance of tank are obtained by the suggested way.

Korean Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV-II) Propellant Supply System charges liquid oxygen and kerosene to each propellant tank for the stages. To charge the launch vehicle propellant tank safety, the propellant charge flow rates and scenarios should be defined. First, the Propellant Supply System was modeled with 1D flow analysis program. The control valve capacity and orifice size were calculated by performing the 1D steady state simulation. Second, the 1D transient simulation was performed by using the steady state simulation results. As propellants were being charged at the each tank, the increased tank liquid level decreases the charge flow rate. Consequently, the proposed supply system satisfies the required design charging conditions.

The performance test of recirculation line in propellant feeding system was carried out. Liquid oxygen was used as cryogenic propellant and helium was used as recirculation promotion gas. Tests were done in cases at atmospheric pressure and at pressure of 4 barg in the ullage space of propellant tank. Liquid oxygen recirculation flowrate with helium injection flowrate and temperature distribution along the line were measured. There was appropriate helium injection flowrate for gas-lift recirculation system. Test data were used to make calculation program by test data correlation method. In this paper the procedure of calculation was presented and the results were compared to test data.

우주발사체 발사를 위해서는 발사대시스템 개발이 필수적이다. 발사대시스템은 기계설비와 추진제공급설비, 관제설비로 구성되며, 그 중 기계설비는 발사지지대(Launch Pad), 이렉터(Erector), 트랜스포터이렉터(Transport-Erector), 케이블마스트(Cable-mast), 자동체결장치(Auto-coupling Device) 총 다섯 부분으로 나눌 수 있다. 발사지지대는 발사 전까지 발사체를 지지하는 구조물로 발사체의 안전을 보장하고 공급배관 및 통신라인의 경로를 제공한다. 이렉터는 발사준비과정에서 수평으로 이송된 발사체를 2개의 대형 유압실린더를 사용하여 기립시키는 장비로 발사 취소 시 발사체를 수평으로 전환한다. 트랜스포터이렉터는 조립공간에서 조립을 마치고 최종점검이 완료된 발사체를 전용차량을 이용하여 발사대로 이동하고 발사체를 안전하게 잡아준다. 자동체결장치는 지상으로부터 발사체로 연결되는 추진제, 압축가스 등의 연결배관을 자동으로 연결/분리하는 장치이다. 케이블마스트는 우주발사체 상단부의 UCU-E(Umbilical Connectors Unit-Electrical)를 통해서 전기, 고압가스, 고온공기 등을 공급하기 위한 통로로 발사 전까지 발사체시스템과 지상장비와의 통신수단이다. 또한 발사체로 연결되는 라인들을 발사 시에 나오는 후류에 의한 충격으로부터 보호하고, UCU-E가 기계적으로 분리되도록 구성되어 있다. 본 논문은 기존에 적용된 케이블마스트에 대한 구성, 기능 및 운용절차에 관한 것으로, 현재 진행 중인 한국형발사체 개발을 위한 기초 자료조사로 활용하고자 한다.

The launch operation for a space launch vehicle(SLV) is to be conducted by the systematic operation between SLV and the Technological Equipment(TE) such as the mechanical, fuel, and electrical ground support equipment at launch complex(LC). The basic source for the operation of the instruments in LC is the electrical power supply system, Technological Equipment Power Supply System(TEPSS), which is one of the Launch Control System. Thus TEPSS should supply the required electrical power to TE with reliability. In this paper, TEPSS which supplies operational electrical power to TE is introduced.
