A THREE-DIMENSIONAL LIFTING REENTRY VEHICLE SIMULATION

Abstract

The three-dimensional equations of motion, written in a flight path coordinate system, are presented for a re-entering orbital vehicle. An analog computer circuit used for the solution of these equations is described. Typical computer solutions are presented and discussed. (Author)
