Rocket ballistics and navigation
Abstract
The ballistics and navigation of rockets are presented with emphasis on methods for navigating unmanned flight vehicles and possible implementations of these methods. Topics discussed include the flight conditions determined by the geophysical fields and earth atmosphere, mathematical principles of the ballistic support of controlled flight, and principal methods for the guidance of rockets toward moving targets. Attention is also given to the inertial navigation and guidance of ballistic missiles.
