Free Rocket Six Degree of Freedom Digital Simulation.

Abstract

This report describes in detail a free rocket six degree of freedom trajectory program which utilizes a fourth order RUNGE-KUTTA subroutine. Several options such as programmed roll, directional control, and fold out fins are described. The program includes a listing of the equations, flow charts, program description, input and output information, and a complete program listing. (Author)
