WIND COMPENSATION SOLUTION FOR UNGUIDED SPACE VEHICLES,

Abstract

A method is presented for calculating the wind compensation solution for unguided missiles. A six-degree-of-freedom program is used as a basis for determining the required launch azi muth and elevation corrections. The results are then incorporated into a more rapid, but as accurate, solution adapted for use at the National Missile Ranges. The presented wind compensation method was used on the SLV-1B vehicle and Program 661A vehicles with excellent results. (Author)
