In this paper, structure design of the payload section of the KSR-III was performed. The payload section of the KSR-III, which corresponds to the second stage, consists of the Scientific Payload Section for the mission of the rocket, the Payload Section (Electronics) for the communication between the rocket and the ground station, and the Payload Section (Attitude Control) for the attitude control of the rocket. In order to accomplish the mission, every payload and component should operate successfully during the mission period and the structure must satisfy the requirements of the payloads. In this research, precise composition of the payload section and payloads arrangement of the KSR-III were performed. And the modification of the structure to meet the requirements were described.

This paper describes the development of gimbals engine actuation system for KSR(Korean Sounding Rocket)-III which performs the attitude control of pitch and yaw axes by thrust vector control of liquid propellant gimbals engine. The development requirements of configuration, performance and environment are introduced, and the principles and details of components and system development are discussed. The developed system successfully fulfilled its own performance and environmental evaluation. It will be planned to perform verification of interface and integration compatibility with other related systems, and then mounted on KSR-III as a flight hardware system.

An experimental and numerical study of aerodynamic charateristics of KSR-III and jet impingement on a deflector during launch has been conducted. To investigate aerodynamic characteristics of KSR-III configuration, wind tunnel tests using 6.4% scale model were performed by 4x4 feet ADD trisonic wind tunnel on the Mach number range of 0.4~3.8. Solutions of Three dimensional Euler equations were also obtained and compared with test result. For the study of KSR-III jet impingement flowfield on a deflector during launch operation, unsteady computation using CFD-FASTRAN was performed.

The position and trajectory of in-flight rocket are important informations to determine the flight safety of rocket. In general tracking system, radar and transponder are used to acquire position information. Rocket position and trajectory can be determined by using RF communication between ground station and in-flight rocket and antenna position data. Onboard transponder system is composed of RF receiving part, RF transmitting one, decoder and single TX/ RX antenna. Therefore circulator is necessary for minimizing RF signal interference. In this paper, the radar transponder system was developed to track the trajectory and position of KSR-Ⅲ by using radar.

This paper describes the development of scientific payload system onboard the KSR-III. The ozone detector(UVR), Langmuir electron probe(LEP), airglow photometer(AGP), and magnetometer(MAG) constitute this system. The purpose of the ozone detector is to measure the ozone density profile and the LEP measures the electron density and temperature in the ionosphere over the Korean Peninsula. The AGP detects airglow in the mesosphere over the Korean Peninsular. The MAG provides rocket attitude and the magnetic fluctuation information during the flight. With the developed payloads, the ground calibration tests and the environmental tests have been performed.

Hypersonic analysis on the KSR-Ⅲ payload configuration has been performed using an axisymmetric Navier-Stokes code. A numerical code based on the Harten and Yee's upwind TVD scheme with simplified curve fits in the chemically reacting equilibrium air was developed. The carbuncle phenomenon on detached shock in front of the payload is controlled by using pressure gradients to tune the dissipation. Chemically reacting equilibrium computations for the reentry flight conditions of Mach No. 10.2, 8, 4.9 are presented and compared with the results of calorically perfect gas.

This paper introduces ground feeding facility for flight test of sounding rocket(KSR-III) which use liquid propellants and addresses facility configuration, development process and results. Supply of propellants and pressurization gases to vehicle according to predefined launch scenario is the primary goal of ground feeding facility. It was constructed at KSR-III launch site, verified by several tests and used for the flight test successfully.

과거 로켓엔진의 개발은 군사적, 혹은 국가 간 기술 선점을 목적으로 그 개발이 이루어져 왔으나, 최근에는 인공위성 발사, 대기관측 등 상업적 목적에 의한 개발이 두드러지고 있다. 이와 같은 상업적 로켓 개발에 있어서는 신뢰도와 경제성이 가장 중요한 요소이다. 한국항공우주연구소에서 개발중인 3단형 과학로켓(KSR-III)의 엔진은 상업적 목적의 인공위성 발사를 목표로 하여, 엔진 시스템의 단순화를 통한 신뢰도 향상과 엔진 제작비용 절감을 통한 경제성을 고려하여 개발되고 있다.(중략)

본 논문에서는 위험요소를 내재하고 있는 로켓시스템에 대해 원거리에서 실시간 모니터링 및 제어를 할 수 있도록 원격 제어시스템을 설계, 개발하였다. 뿐만 아니라 로켓 근처에 위치한 무인 시설물 내에는 원격제어에 따른 로켓내부 시스템의 각종 센서 출력값을 멀티채널방식을 이용하여 장시간에 걸쳐 저장하고 원격지에 위치한 유인 시설물 내에서 LAN 통신을 통해 데이터를 분석할 수 있도록 DAS(Data Acquisition System)을 설계하고 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 간이 연계시험을 통해 입증하였으며, 향후 3단형 과학로켓발사통제시스템에 적용할 예정이다.
