North Korea Space
« on: 09/20/2016 10:45 am »
A thread for North Korea space activities not related with specific orbital launches.

North Korea has carried out a "successful" ground test of a new rocket engine to launch satellites
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37414191

Quote
The engine tested would give the country "sufficient carrier capability for launching various kinds of satellites, including Earth observation satellite at a world level", the report added.
Mr Kim, KCNA said, called for more rocket launches to turn the country into a "possessor of geostationary satellites in a couple of years to come."

   Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, visited the Sohae Space Center to guide the ground jet test of a new type high-power engine of a carrier rocket for the geo-stationary satellite.
    The newly developed high-power engine is a single engine whose thrust is 80 tf.

    The test was aimed to make a final confirmation of the feature of combustion chamber, operation accuracy of valves and control systems and structural reliability of the engine during 200 seconds-long working time.

    Kim Jong Un issued an order to conduct the test.

    The moment the engine spewed out huge flames with deafening sound.

    The test showed that thrust and other technological indexes of the engine accurately reached the estimated values and the feature values of all systems of the engine remained stable throughout the working time.

    The successful manufacture of the engine provided a firm scientific and technological guarantee for developing and completing the carrier rocket for geo-stationary satellite during the 5-year program for national aerospace development and made it possible to acquire sufficient carrier capability for launching various kinds of satellites including earth observation satellite at a world level.
The KCNA statement here says the '5-year program for national aerospace development' was promulgated in 2016, so they're saying they'll be doing GSO launches before 2021.

I'm wondering how they are going to launch geostationary satellites from North Korea. Launching East or South East overflies Japan and North-East overflies China or Russia. They could fly South, but that's a huge payload penalty. Maybe they'll use a floating launch platform.

The exhaust looks fairly clear out the nozzle with an orange tint. That probably means they are using storable propellants.

Storables.  Now we are seeing an engine that uses somewhat practical missile technology.

So, it's 80 tons of thrust, and it looks like vernier engines, all using storable propellants. So, what is the origin of this engine? Is it derived from a YF-21 or similar engine? Or is it an R-29 engine derivative?

This looks to be the same engine that was tested previously, but now with four small vernier engines. Their press release says it is their own design. In the later pictures one screen shows five curves. Probably the large one for the main engine and the four smaller ones for the four verniers. The curves could be showing thrust or chamber pressure versus time.

Looking on engine in Teststand

it's Gas-generator cycle rocket engine with four vernier thruster.

Based on Childish reaction of Military and there Great Leader
I believe  this is a indigenous development from North Korea


Open question
This engine used four  vernier thruster, Why ?
it's imply use in second stage,

But 80 tons trust ? i have not found any information on thrust value of this engine.
If it's  really 80 metric tons then North Korea got chance to build rocket that bring 120 Kg in low orbit
Or SLBM in size of R-29 SLBM...

The verniers are for thrust vector control. The main nozzle is fixed in place. Thor used a similar system, but with only two verniers.

Quote

Then what is the first stage? I think this will be used on a first stage initially.

That could be the plan. The next step might be to cluster the engines Space-X style and then use this engine on an upper stage. Another possibility is to cluster several cores.

The difference was that Thor's main chamber swiveled too, but of course it could only provide pitch/yaw.  The twin verniers added roll control, and they also provided three-axis control during a brief vernier-only phase after the main engine shut down.

If the main chamber is fixed, four verniers are typically used to provide three-axis control.  There are many examples, most often in Russia, China, India, etc.

Until ULA DII retires its verniers still play its original role going back to the first Thor.

http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/04/19/the-united-states-isnt-hacking-north-koreas-missile-launches/

"Since 2014, about three-quarters of Pyongyang’s launches have succeeded. My colleague Shea Cotton keeps a database of every North Korean missile launch. Of the 66 missiles that North Korea launched during 2014 and after, 51 have succeeded. If hacking is playing any role, it is defeating a trivial number of missiles. A .230 average isn’t enough to keep you in the major leagues. And it’s a lousy batting average against nuclear-armed missiles."

The main engine nozzle seems too small for 2nd stage use.

A few examples of Chinese YF-24 engines, 4 tiny vernier thrusters, 1 huge main engine.

...and so 80 ton force engine was tested, single turbopump yet both combustors are gimballed just like RD-180 not so long ago.

Now question should be will this have SLV model/variant that would replace Unha-3.

Evidence for that? Building more missiles is not necessarily the same as building new launch vehicles.

North Korea Begins Dismantling Key Facilities at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station

https://www.38north.org/2018/07/sohae072318/

Given the specifics of what they are dismantling i would not be surprised if they are upgrading the sohae launch center not taking it apart. If we are to assume the september/october 2018 maiden launch date of next gen unha stands (as issued in kim jong uns directive last december) then all of a sudden all of this activity at sohae begins to make more sense.

It simply does not make sense to invest billions over the cause of many years in a launch capability then take the entire thing apart.

The above analysis adds support for my upgrade theory in my previous post. It would be logical for them to build a stage test facility if they plan to develop more powerful launch vehicles in the future.

According to an analysis posted at the website 38 North, it remains unclear why there was renewed activity at the main pad at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station if the maiden launch of the Chollima-1 took place from the newer, smaller coastal launch pad at Sohae. Nonetheless, although the on-and-off upgrades to the main launch pad at Sohae used for the Paektusan-2 (aka Unha/Kwangmyongsong) aroused speculation by Norbert Brugge that North Korea will use the facility for launching an SLV for launching spy satellites, the fact that the Chollima-1 operates from the smaller launch pad could suggest that the DPRK has known for years that developing an SLV for loft geostationary satellites into orbit is sure to be a herculean effort given that North Korea hasn't mustered the expertise to make a geostationary satellite work.
