In addition to propulsive force to a flying vehicle, a rocket propulsion system can provide moments ro rotatate the flying vehicle and thus provide control of the vehicle's attitude and flight path. By controlling the direction of the thrust vectors, it is possible to control a vehicle's pitch, yaw, and roll motions. In this paper, we will introduce general thrust vector control mechanisms.

This paper presents a position control system for a linear induction motor(LIM) with cage-type secondary using direct thrust control(DTC). The position controller, that combines the merits of integral-proportional(IP) speed control, is designed for the LIM. The actual position of the LIM is defected by the linear scale the resolution of 100. Thrust correction coefficient due to the end effect of the LIM is utilized in estimating actual thrust. As a result, responses of the position, speed, thrust, and flux are shown.

LRE(Liquid propellant Rocket Engine) is one of the important parts to control the motion of rocket. For operation of rocket in error boundary of the set-up trajectory, it is necessarily to control the thrust of LRE according to the required thrust profile and control the mixture ratio of propellants fed into combustor for the constant mixture ratio. It is not easy to control thrust and mixture ratio of propellants since there are co-interferences among the components of LRE. In this study, the dynamic model of LRE was constructed and the dynamic characteristics were analyzed with control system as PID control and PID+Q-ILC(Iterative Learning Control with Quadratic Criterion) control. From the analysis, it could be observed that PID+Q-ILC control logic is more useful than standard PID control system for control of LRE.

The Divert and Attitude Control System(DACS) used in high-altitude engagements is expensive and complex. In this paper, we design a high-altitude terminal guidance and control loop of guided-missile equipped with a Thrust Vector Control(TVC) that is less expensive and simpler than DACS. The proposed system utilizes a quaternion feedback control technique to track the thrust attitude command converted from the acceleration command of true proportional navigation guidance. The performance analysis of the proposed terminal guidance and control loop is conducted through engagement simulations against ballistic targets at a high altitude.

Satellite propulsion system is employed for orbit transfer, orbit correction, and attitude control. The monopropellant feeding system in the low-earth-orbit satellite blowdowns fuel to the thrust chamber. The thrust produced by the thruster depends on fuel amount flowed into the combustion chamber. If the thruster valve be given on-off signal from on-board commander in the satellite, valve will be opened or closed. When the thrusters fire fuel flows through opened thruster valve. Instantaneous stoppage of flow in according to valve actuation produces transient pressure due to pressure wave. This paper describes transient pressure predictions of the KOMPSAT2 propulsion system resulting from latching valve and thrust control valve operations. The time-dependent set of the fluid mass and momentum equations are calculated by Method of Characteristics (MOC).

This paper presents a speed control system for a linear induction motor(LIM) with cage-type secondary using direct thrust control(DTC). The actual speed of the LIM is detected by the linear scale with the resolution of $100{\mu}m$. Thrust correction coefficient due to the end effect of the LIM is utilized in estimating actual thrust. As a result, responses of the thrust, current, speed, and flux are shown.

A novel actuator with built-in the displacement and the thrust control function is presented in this paper. This actuator is a kind of compact hydraulic cylinder system which consists of a hydraulic cylinder, a spool, a sleeve, a mechanical feedback mechanism and a stepping motor. The displacement and thrust is in proportion to the rotational angle of stepping motor by the mechanical feedback. In order to investigate characteristics of this actuator, simulation study and preliminary experiments are conducted. Through the preliminary experiment this actuator is very effective in the control for displacement and thrust. Also, it became obvious that the stability of system can be adjusted by using the restrictor with the effect of velocity feedback. Furthermore, this paper explained that a flexible compliance control could be realized by adjusting the feedback weighting in the actuator.

In this study, we tried to improve the thrust control performance through the thrust control combustion experiment of the hybrid rocket. We constructed the system which controls the oxidizer flow by combining a needle valve with a stepping motor and controlling the stepping motor drive according to the thrust control command order. Gas oxygen was used as the oxidizer for two different propellants, PE(Polyethylene), PC(Polycarbonate), respectively. To improve the slow response time and the oscillation phenomenon in the beginning stage of the thrust control combustion experiment, we measured and analyzed the change of the flow speed of the propellant pipe. The revised thrust control combustion experiment showed that the thrust was stably controlled with the margin or error from the thrust command within ${\pm}1$ N.

For the pitch and yaw axis attitude control of launch vehicle, thrust vector control which changes the direction of thrust during the engine combustion is commonly used. Hydraulic actuation system has been used generally as a drive system for the thrust vector control of launch vehicles with the advantage of power-to-weight ratio. Nowadays, due to the developments of highly efficient electric motor and motor control techniques, it has done a lot of research to adopt electro-mechanical actuator for thrust vector control of small-sized launch vehicles. This paper describes system design and test results of the prototype of direct drive electro-mechanical actuation system which is being developed for the thrust vector control of $3^{rd}$ stage engine of KSVL-II.
