Basic Inertia Matrix • Assumptions: • constant mass • uniform density • axisymmetric Image credit: Michael Walker
Launch Scenarios • Traditional Ground Launch • Active Steering: thrust vectoring, control surfaces • Passive Steering: gravity turn • Air Launch • Drop detachment • Thrust detachment • Assisted Ground Launch • Control of Launch Angle • Needs to withstand high accelerations: 30.1g Future Work • Develop Rigid Body Equations of Motion • Develop Steering Law AAE 450 Spring 2008 Dynamics and Control
