Multi Stage Rocket… Performance and Optimization (Multi-stage rockets) 7 May 20178 May 2017 As was discussed in the previous post, the single stage rocket is not a very feasible way to place masses into orbit given the fact that the mass ratio between initial mass…
Rocket… Performance and Optimization (Single Stage Rockets) 1 May 20178 May 2017 Equations of Motion for Rocket In order to derive the equations of motion of a rocket the book Introduction to Space Dynamics did a poor job explaining why things work…
Optimization… Performance and Optimization of Rocket Launch 30 Apr 201730 Apr 2017 In my previous posts I went over a couple of controllers that could be used to control the attitude of a rocket in 2D. I am a bit burned out…
Rocket Pitch Analysis of Rigid Body Rocket (Part 3: Simulations) 29 Apr 20178 May 2017 In the last post I showed you more or less what kind of controller is needed to control the rocket. In this post I will be showing you some results…
Rocket Pitch Analysis of Rigid Body Rocket (Part 2: Controllers) 12 Apr 20178 May 2017 In the last post we went quickly over the equations of motion for the rigid body rocket. We ended up with a system of equations of size 3. The state…
Rocket Pitch Analysis of Rigid Body Rocket (Part 1: Equations of Motion) 24 Mar 20178 May 2017 Review of Dynamic Modeling and Ascent Flight Control of the ARES-I Crew Launch Vehicle Section 3.2 Soooo as my first real post I will be going over the basic equations…
