Calculating Launch Vehicle Flight Performance Reserve
This paper addresses different methods for determining the amount of extra propellant (flight performance reserve or FPR) that is necessary to reach orbit with a high probability of success. One approach involves assuming that the various influential parameters are independent and that the result behaves as a Gaussian. Alternatively, probabilistic models may be used to determine the vehicle and...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of Launch Vehicle Flight Control Systems
This paper describes the fundamental principles of launch vehicle flight control analysis and design. In particular, the classical concept of “drift-minimum” and “load-minimum” control principles is re-examined and its performance and stability robustness with respect to modeling uncertainties and a gimbal angle constraint is discussed. It is shown that an additional feedback of angle-of-attack...
متن کاملDemonstration of a New Smallsat Launch Vehicle: The Orbital/Suborbital Program (OSP) Space Launch Vehicle Inaugural Mission Results
The United States Air Force and Orbital Sciences Corporation (Orbital) completed development and demonstration of a new low cost space launch vehicle for launching small satellites using surplus Minuteman II rocket motors melded with commercial launch vehicle technology. The Orbital Suborbital Program Space Launch Vehicle (OSPSLV, aka OSP Minotaur) successfully achieved all mission objectives w...
متن کاملLimited Adaptive Authority Flight Control for the Crew Launch Vehicle
The control system of the NASA Crew Launch Vehicle is designed to meet performance and robustness requirements during its ascent flight phase. However, the controller bandwidth and the attainable level of robust performance is limited by the degree of flexibility inherent in the long and slender design that has been adopted for this vehicle. Since there remains a substantial degree of uncertain...
متن کاملEvaluation of an Adaptive Method for Launch Vehicle Flight Control
the amount of analysis and testing required per mission must be reduced over that performed for the partially re-usable Space Shuttle. A goal for future RLV flight control is to design and test the flight control system to operate within a prescribed flight envelope and loading margin, and requiring only payload/fuel parameters and “route” to be specified for a given mission. It has been estima...
