This paper is to introduce Hanwha Aerospace R&D Center's development status of TVC(Thrust Vector Control) system and control valves for Korean space launch vehicles. With the successful development of KSR-III TVC system, Hanwha have developed TVC system and RCS control valves for KSLV-I. Also, in the advance research area of KSLV-II, Hanwha have participated in LOx and fuel flow control valves and LOx shut-off valve development in the engine supply system. Based on the accumulated experiences and technologies in the aerospace key components and system development, Hanwha will make an important contribution to KSLV-II development in the future.

A trajectory analysis program was developed to predict KSLV-II (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II) performance with the reducing weight. The program estimates the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) / SSO (Sun-Synchronous Orbit) injection performance, which is determined as payload weight for the orbits, with decreasing the structural ratio or increasing rocket engine power. It is expected that the KSLV-II can transport up to 4.5 tons, 3 tons of space payloads at LEO, SSO with a reduced structural ratio by 60% of the original. It also shows that the KSLV-II can transport up to 3.65 tons at SSO by applying advanced engines of 90 tonf, 10 tonf class with the reduced structure.

Space development program is a large and complex system consisting of a multi-disciplinary high-end technologies and it is important to implement a program management system connected with systems engineering as well as to develop critical technologies. Major organizations in space fields carry out effective budget execution management and operation according to the strategy and objective of space development using information systems. Korea Space Launch Vehicle II(KSLV-II) has adopted a cost management plan using a system engineering to complete the program within the assigned schedule and budget. This paper introduces the budget execution management system applied to KSLV-II budget management and the budget execution dashboard system for supporting program decision making.

This paper describes a testbed that was designed and implemented for the development of KSLV-II onboard equipment simulator. It used the CPCI-based industrial hardware system for scalability and the QNX real-time operating system for reliability and real-time simulation. In addition, a real-time application under QNX for function simulations of the KSLV-I PDU was developed and it was verified through interface experiments with KSLV-I upper-stage test equipment. The implemented simulator testbed will be used to verify the development feasibility in the design and development phase of a real KSLV-II onboard equipment simulator.

Space launch vehicle development needs many kinds of technologies synthetically. Nowadays, KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) has developed a space launch vehicle, KSLV-I (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-I), that is able to load with an 100kg payload. After that it plans to develop Korean Space Launch Vehicle. As space launch vehicle becomes more complicate and larger, it needs a scientific and analytic development cost estimation. In this paper a cost estimation for KSLV-II using TRANSCOST 7.1 was studied.

Propulsion system test complex (PSTC) is designed to verify propulsion system of KSLV-II. It is composed of hydraulic and pneumatic system, test stand system, control/measurement system, and flame deflector and safety system. In this study, kerosene filling system of hydraulic and pneumatic system is introduced. It performs store and chilling of kerosene, chilling and purging of filling line, and filling and retrieval of the kerosene. The kerosene supply requirements of 1, 2 and 3 stages of KSLV-II are considered in design process.

Basic design result for propulsion system test complex(PSTC) of KSLV-II is briefly described. KSLV-II is a three stage launch vehicle will be used liquid rocket engine for each. PSTC is will be used for development and performances qualification tests of $1^{st}/2^{nd}/3^{rd}$ propulsion systems for KSLV-II. In the future, this result will be applied to critical design and manufacturing of PSTC after deciding lay-out and operating program.

The KSLV-II(Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II) which being a successor of the KSLV-I is a space launch vehicle capable of delivering 1.5 ton-class satellite into a low earth orbit. The development of a 75 tonf-class liquid rocket engine(LRE) is planned on the basis of the technologies mastered through the preceded research of a 30 tonf-class LRE. The thrust chamber of the LRE is required to have higher combustion stability, structural integrity and thermal durability. This paper deals with the design requirements of the 75-tonf thrust chamber and a variety of technical considerations which have been conducted analytically in the course of the design for the realization of the requirements.

A trajectory analysis program was developed using a 3 DOF model to analyze KSLV-II performance with the reducing weight. The program estimates the injection performance on the SSO orbit, which is determined as payload weight for the orbit, with various vehicle structural ratios. The KSLV-II can transport 2.58 ton to the target orbit with a reduced structural ratio similar to the Angara rockets.

A program of launch vehicle performance analysis is composed for the education of the conceptual design of launch vehicles and the requirement analysis for the propulsion system design. The program is applied for the mission analysis of space launch vehicles based on KSLV-II with liquid rocket boosters. The 75-ton class liquid rocket engine is assumed for the boosters by referring the mass ratio of KSLV-II second stage. The launch performance analysis is carried out for KSLV-II with 2, 3 and 4 boosters by targeting the circular orbit of 700 km altitude. The trajectory is assumed as two-dimension considering the variation of the flight environment. Payload of advanced KSLV-II could be increased to maximum 3 tons, though it is limited by the thrust performance of the upper stage.
