The time-varying structural reliability of an aeroelastic launch vehicle subjected to stochastic parameters is investigated. The launch vehicle structure is under the combined action of several stochastic loads that include aerodynamics, thrust as well as internal combustion pressure. The launch vehicle's main body structural flexibility is modeled via the normal mode shapes of a free-free Euler beam, where the aerodynamic loadings on the vehicle are due to force on each incremental section of the vehicle. The rigid and elastic coupled nonlinear equations of motion are derived following the Lagrangian approach that results in a complete aeroelastic simulation for the prediction of the instantaneous launch vehicle rigid-body motion as well as the body elastic deformations. Reliability analysis has been performed based on two distinct limit state functions, defined as the maximum launch vehicle tip elastic deformation and also the maximum allowable stress occurring along the launch vehicle total length. In this fashion, the time-dependent reliability problem can be converted into an equivalent time-invariant reliability problem. Subsequently, the first-order reliability method, as well as the Monte Carlo simulation schemes, are employed to determine and verify the aeroelastic launch vehicle dynamic failure probability for a given flight time.

A space launch vehicle system represents a typical example of large-scale multi-disciplinary systems, consisting of subsystems such as mechanical structure, electronics, control, telecommunication, propulsion, material engineering etc. A lot of cost is required to develop the launch vehicle system. A precise planning of R&D cost is very essential to make a success of the launch vehicle development program. Especially in the early development phase of a new space launch vehicle system, cost estimation techniques and analogy from past similar development data are very useful methods to estimate a development cost of the launch vehicle system. Now Korea Aerospace Research Institute is in charge of the KSLV-I (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-I) Program that is a part of Korea National Space program. KSLV-I Program is a national undertaking to develop launch capabilities to deliver science satellites of a 100kg-class into a low earth orbit. It is hereafter, going to plan to develop a new korean space launch vehicle. In this paper, first the development costs of well-known launch vehicles in the world are presented to provide a reference to make a development plan of a new launch vehicle. Second this paper introduces the present status of cost estimation applications at NASA. Finally this paper presents the results from application of a TRANSCOST, a parametric cost model, to derive a cost estimate of a new launch vehicle development, as an example.

한국형 발사체 지상고정 장치는 발사체 이륙시 엔진 최대 추력에서 고정을 해제 한다. 고정력을 일시에 제거하면 추진체가 탱크 내부에서 상하로 진동하는 Ka Doing a Doing a Doing Mode를 유발할 수 있으므로, 점진적으로 고정력을 제거하는 기능이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 만족하기 위해 축압기 및 파이로 밸브로 유압구동기를 작동하고 구동기내 오리피스로 속도를 제어하는 지상고정장치 유압시스템의 작동 시험을 수행하였다. 주요 설계변수 변화 의한 유압구동기 운동속도의 영향을 분석하여 이를 바탕으로 구동기 요구속도를 만족시킬 수 있는 유압구동기 설계값들을 도출하였다. 이를 통하여 최대추력에서 동작할 수 있는 발사체 지상고정 장치의 개발을 위한 공학적 기반을 마련하였다.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute has developed an earth observation satellite whose primary mission objective is to provide high resolution electro optical earth images for Geographical Information Systems (GIS) establishment and the applications for environmental, agriculture and ocean monitoring. It was successfully launched into its mission orbit by using a commercial launch vehicle on 18th of May, 2012. This paper describes a series of launch activity at the launch site including its transportation to the launch site. Before conducting the launch site operation, satellite operation plane was prepared. Combining the satellite operation plan and launch vehicle activities, an integrated launch site operation plan and schedule have been drawn up. After arrival of the spacecraft at the launch site, post-ship check out has been conducted. And then it was fuel loaded and integrated with launch vehicle hardware. After completion of final electrical check out, count down procedure was executed. on 18th of May, it was launched into the space and was separated from the launch vehicle as planned. About 3 months of early operation and calibration/validation, now the satellite is conducting its normal mission.

LCC(Launch Control Center) in NARO Space Center perform a data monitoring and control through the interface to the external system of launch vehicle. Launch Control function needs a high reliability and processing speed. Hence, LCC's remote control system configure a real time system. An important role of the Simulation system is discovering a risk element and minimize it When developing a launch control system. Also, secure a development technique to solve the risks. Launch Vehicle simulator is composed of various component at characteristic of the Launch Vehicle. To be like this each function component the developer will be able to develop easily in order, it using the LabVIEW which is a Graphical Program and it programs, The LabVIEW GOOP(Graphical Object-orinted Programming) which supports an Object-orinted programming it uses with the Component it develops will have a strong point which reusability and a unit test, maintenance, size of program and individual developments.

The SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite has the advantage of implementing the imaging mission even though it is night time, cloudy weather, and all weather conditions, which is different from the satellite with the optical payload. This is the reason why the SAR satellite comes into the spotlight in the observation satellite field. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has been developing the first Korean SAR satellite and is currently integrating and testing the Flight Model. For the launch vehicle service, KARI finalized the selection of the launch vehicle service provider and finished Critical Design Review (CDR) of the interface between the bus and the launch vehicle. KARI and launch vehicle service provider also finished the test of the telemetry interface between the bus and the launch vehicle. The test of the telemetry interface has the purpose of checking the interface of the telemetry which is the SOH(State-of-Health) of the satellite in an early launch stage. For this test, KARI has finished the development of the spacecraft simulator which is composed of the bus simulator to generate the analog telemetry and the launch vehicle simulator to gather the telemetry. In this research, the result of the hardware implementation and the software implementation for the spacecraft simulator were described. Finally the results of the launch vehicle telemetry MUX test which were performed at the launch vehicle provider's design office by using the spacecraft simulator were summarized. It is expected that this simulator will be used in the next test after the manufacture of the launch vehicle.

발사체는 수많은 서브시스템들로 구성된 복잡한 하나의 대형 시스템이다. 이런 시스템 하나하나를 개발하고, 통합해서 임무를 수행하는 데는 많은 경험과 통합기술이 필요하다. 이런 기술과 경험은 한순간에 얻어지는 것이 아니지만 선진 사례를 통해서 개발절차를 연구해보았다. 발사체 시스템의 크기에 따라서 업무의 성격과 복잡성은 달라질 수 있으나 체계화 된 업무 절차는 동일 할 것으로 판단된다. 여기에 소개한 발사체의 개발과정은 나사에서 수많은 발사체를 개발하면서 경험한 절차를 토대로 프로그램의 수명주기를 통해서 어느 정도 표준화된 것이다. 이 개발단계는 발사체의 수명주기를 통해서 10단계로 구성되었다.

본 논문은 발사체의 지상대기 및 운용 중 격실 내부의 열제어 및 화재/폭발 방지를 위해서 적용되는 열제어/화재안전계에 대한 설계 및 시험에 대해서 기술한다. 고려된 시스템은 한국형발사체 개발의 일환으로 진행되고 있는 시험발사체의 열제어/화재안전 시스템으로 이 시스템은 나로호의 경험을 토대로 고압 시스템을 적용한다. 고압 및 저압 시스템의 선정은 발사대의 가스공급 설비 및 발사체의 특성을 고려해서 선정하며 이에 따라 시스템의 구성도 달라진다. 결과적으로 개발된 시스템은 시험을 통해서 초기의 설계 조건을 만족하는 결과를 얻을 수 있음이 확인되었으며, 이러한 시스템은 한국형발사체의 개발에 그대로 확장되어 적용될 예정이다.
