A Discussion of the Control Systems of Ballistic Rockets,
Abstract
Russia launched two multistage ballistic missiles in 1960. The deviation of the landing point with respect to trajectory range was only one sixth-thousandth and the deviation of speed of flight was three-one-hundred-thousandths, which indicated that a condition of high perfection had been reached in rocket control systems. The operating principles of rocket control systems were introduced. The function of rocket control systems was explained. A block diagram and three major components of the automatic stabilizer were discussed. These components are: position fixing element; amplification/conversion device and steering mechanism. Finally, speed measurement mechanisms were brought up since target accuracy is greatly influenced by errors in speed. What the author introduced was simply a concept of control system equipment.
