The power plant system of a tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was verified by the Ironbird ground test, which considerably reduces cost and risk during the developmental stages. The function and performance of the engine, drive line, nacelle conversion, and rotor systems were evaluated using a building block test approach. The Ironbird test concept facilitates the discovery of potential faults in earlier stages of the testing period. As a result, the developmental testing period could effectively be shortened. The measured test data acquired through a ground control and data acquisition system exhibited satisfactory results which meet the developmental specifications of a tilt rotor UAV.

Numerical simulations are made to predict the axial force coefficients of a two-stage launch vehicle, and the results are compared with those by wind tunnel tests. It is found that the forebody axial force is not affected by whether the base of the body is modeled or not. Modeling the sting support used in wind tunnel tests reduced the base axial force compared to the results without it. The present calculation shows that the forebody axial forces are underestimated while the base axial forces are overestimated. The total axial force, therefore, compares with the experimental data with better accuracy by cancelling out the errors of opposite signs. Modeling of the sting support in numerical simulations is found to be necessary to get a better agreement with the experiments for both base and overall axial force coefficients.

This paper describes UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) control system which employs PC104 modules. It is controlled by application program based on Linux OS. This application consists of both Linux device driver in kernel-space and user application in user-space. In order to get data required in the unmanned flight, external devices are connected to PC104 modules. We explain how Linux device drivers deal with data transmitted by external devices and we account for how the user application controls UAV on the basis of data processed in the device driver as well. Furthermore we look into the role of GCS (Ground Control Station) which is to monitor the state of UAV.

According to the characteristics of salvo attack for the multiple flight vehicles (MFV), the design of cooperative guidance law can be converted into the consensus problem of multi-vehicle system through the concept of multi-agent cooperative control. The flight vehicles can be divided into leader and followers depending on different functions, and the flight conditions of leader are independent of the ones of followers. The consensus problem of leader-follower multi-vehicle system is researched by graph theory, and the consensus protocol is also presented. Meanwhile, the finite time guidance law is designed for the flight vehicles via the finite time control method, and the system stability is also analyzed. Whereby, the guidance law can guarantee the line of sight (LOS) angular rates converge to zero in finite time, and hence the cooperative attack of the MFV can be realized. The effectiveness of the designed cooperative guidance method is validated through the simulation with a stationary target and a moving target, respectively.

It is well known that helium saturated propellants significantly effects the dynamics of propulsion system, thruster cross coupling, water hammer and thruster performance. Especially for the propulsion systems, which have multiple high thrust engines, such as HTV(H-II transfer vehicle), the effect is more important. Therefore full-saturated propellants should be used at ground tests of HTV propulsion system and evaluate its effects. HTV is an advanced space vehicle being developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA) to enhance cargo delivery capabilities of the fleet of vehicles visiting the International Space Station(ISS). This paper presents an overview of the successful effort of the testing with saturated propellants(MMH/MON3) for HTV propulsion system during the ground firing tests.

본 논문에서는 주어진 3단형 발사체의 상단부 폐루프 유도 방식 선정을 위해 널리 알려져 있는 Space Shuttle의 PEG 알고리듬보다 유도명령의 형태가 최적화 해에 가까운 Jaggers가 제안한 직접식 유도 방식에 대해서 다루었다. 이 알고리듬을 주어진 발사체의 상단부인 2단 및 3단 비행 구간에 적용할 경우에 대해서 유도 성능을 분석했다. 또한 보다 정밀한 유도를 위해 알고리듬 유도를 위해 사용된 근사식들을 가능한 사용하지 않도록 했으며 원래의 알고리듬에 비해 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 회전안정화 우주비행체 내부에 탑재된 유동질량의 운동을 보다 광범위한 파라미터 영역에 대해 해석하고, 관련 분야에서 활용할 수 있는 적정한 설계 기준을 제공하기 위한 것이다. 문제의 해석을 위해 perturbation 기법을 이용하였고, 그 결과로 파라미터 공간에서의 안정-불안정 영역을 결정할 수 있는 Ince-Strutt 선도를 구하였다. 해석 방법 및 확보된 결과의 적정성을 입증하기 위하여 선도에서 취한 여러 파라미터 값에 대한 수치적 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 유동체 운동의 위상평면 분석을 통하여 수행된 해석 과정 및 결과가 적정한 것으로 입증되었으며, 회전 비행체에 탑재된 유동질량의 운동은 파라미터 값의 선택에 따라 여러 가지 형태의 안정-불안정 현상을 유발함을 알 수 있었다.

최근 민간이 우주개발을 주도하는 뉴스페이스 시대가 시작되었다. 뉴스페이스 시대는 소형위성 시장 및 소형발사체 시장의 규모가 확대됨에 따라 민간이 우주개발에 적극 참여하는 시대라고 할 수 있다. 우주개발 선진국에서는 소형발사체의 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해 개발/제작/운용비용의 감소시키는 노력을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 도전적인 우주개발을 위한 국외 소형발사체 개발 동향 및 소요 기술의 동향을 분석하고 요약하였다. 소요 기술 중 전기 펌프, 적층 제조 등 spin-on 기술을 우주개발기술에 활용하기 위한 연구 개발이 시급하게 필요하다.

We are developing an optomechanical design of infrared telescope for the CubeSat and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which adapts the Linear Astigmatism Free- Three Mirror System in the confocal off-axis condition. The small entrance pupil (diameter of 40 mm) and the fast telescope (f-number of 1.9) can survey large areas. The telescope structure consists of three mirror modules and a sensor module, which are assembled on the base frame. The mirror structure has duplex layers to minimize a surface deformation and physical size of a mirror mount. All the optomechanical parts and three freeform mirrors are made from the same material, i.e., aluminum 6061-T6. The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion matching single material structure makes the imaging performance to be independent of the thermal expansion. We investigated structural characteristics against external loads through Finite Element Analysis. We confirmed the mirror surface distortion by the gravity and screw tightening, and the overall contraction/expansion following the external temperature environment change (from -30℃ to +30℃).
