BALLISTIC EQUATIONS FOR A SEVEN DEGREE OF FREEDOM ROCKET

Abstract

A general formulation of the equations of motion for a rocket consisting of two units rotating relative to each other about an aerodynamic axis of symmetry is presented. The effects of the rotation, and variation in the gravitational field of the earth, as well as the mass unbalance of the rocket are taken into account. (Author)
