A FORTRAN PROGRAM TO CALCULATE TWO DEGREE OF FREEDOM TRAJECTORIES FOR BALLISTIC VEHICLES,

Abstract

This report describes a FORTRAN II computer program which calculates two-degree of freedom trajectories for ballistic vehicles. The vehicle is assumed to have a constant ballistic coefficient and to be traveling over a flat, non-rotating earth. Atmospheric density, used in computing aerodynamic drag, is based on an exponential function. (Author)
