Combustion instability, which is one of the most undesirable phenomena in the development of liquid Propellant rocket engine, can cause serious damage to the rocket itself, and must be evaded by all means. Unfortunately, KSR-III rocket went through the combustion instability during engine start at the propulsion test article No.2. To resolve the problem, time sequence has been changed, and the baffle system has been applied. In consequence of the change, stable combustion was achieved.
