Satellite Launching Trajectory Calculations: General Description of NAREC Programs for the Two-Dimensional Case

Abstract

This report describes in a fairly detailed manner the common characteristics of programs used to calculate satellite launching vehicle trajectories on the Laboratory's electronic digital computer (NAREC). Equations of motion and auxiliary formulas are given along with a description of program organization. The formulations are two dimensional ones and are largely concerned with powered flight for the first two stages. The report is intended to be a source of specific information for the problem originators and others who use these programs. It should also be useful to anyone engaged in the design of similar programs.
