DATA FOR ICBM RE-ENTRY TRAJECTORIES
Abstract
Basic trajectory data during re-entry are presented for a series of re-entry vehicle ballistic coefficients ranging from 300 to 3000 lb/sq ft. Reentry flight-path angles were varied from 10 to 60 deg, with re-entry velocities corresponding to a nominal ballistic range of 5500 n mi. In addition to the usual trajectory parameters, a number of other variables particularly useful in studies of low altitude interception systems are presented.
