The Two-Point Boundary-Value Problem for Rocket Trajectories

The two dimensional gravity turn problem is addressed allowing for the effects of variable rocket mass due to propellant consumption, thrust and thrust vector angle, lift and drag forces at an angle-of-attack and atmospheric mass density varying with altitude; Coriolis and centrifugal forces are neg...
