AN IBM 7090 SIX-DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM TRAJECTORY PROGRAM

Abstract

This report presents a six-degree-of-freedom trajectory program which describes the unpowered flight of a rigid body in the vicinity of a spherical rotating earth. The program is written for an IBM 7090 computer operating under the IBSYS monitor. The mathematical formulation of the problem and the computer program itself are presented. The program description includes a FORTRAN listing and instructions for its use.
