THE ACCURACY OF THE VELOCITY INCREMENT VECTOR OF THE BLACK ARROW THIRD STAGE.
Abstract
An investigation was made into the various sources of attitude errors in the Black Arrow third stage and their probable effect on the accuracy of the velocity increment vector. It is shown that apart from the possible but unknown effect of an impulse at motor light-up or of unstable burning, the directional error should be little more than 1 degree, which is well within the tolerances of an acceptable orbit.
