발사체 상단의 자세제어를 목적으로 하는 과산화수소 단일추진제 추력기 설계 및 성능평가를 수행하였다. 상용 발사체급에 요구되는 수준인 100, 250 N 급 추력기를 목표로 하였으며 개발 모델에서 성능시험을 통해 반응기 설계 형상을 확정한 후, 최종적으로 검증 모델을 밸브와 통합하여 개발하였다. 설계된 추력기는 sea level 조건에서 특성속도, 추력, 비추력 및 펄스 응답성 측정을 통해 성능을 검증하였다.
Design and performance evaluation of $H_2O_2$ monopropellant thrusters to be used at reaction control of space launch vehicles were presented in this paper. Design thrust level was determined as 100, 250 Newton which is nominal thrust level for commercial space launch vehicles. Qualification thruster models including solenoid valves were developed after the reactor design were evaluated at engineering thruster models. Each thruster was evaluated by measurement of characteristic velocity, thrust, specific impulse, and pulse response times at sea level test condition.
