Trajectory Calculation Rocketry/Space Education Rocketry History Chemestry Mathematics

Trajectory Calculation

  • Launching a payload
    Calculation of launching a payload from launch site to geostationary orbit. By Reza Rezvani
  • Rocket Equations
    Equations for model rocketeers - how to accurately predict speed and altitude for your rocket from weight, diameter, motor thrust and impulse. By Randy Culp
  • Simple Rocket Impact Model
    When a small object like a rocket hits a big object like a planet, the planet usually "wins". But we can get an idea of the energies and forces involved so we can plan for better recovery systems and materials that will survive the landing. Your rocket can react in one of three ways or in some combination, depending on what materials it's made of and how they are joined.

  • Black Rock Unguided Suborbital Launch Vehicle Practice Risk Analysis
    This page contains a safety analysis for a hypothetical CATS USLV launched from the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. This analysis is just an experiment to see what the difficulties and results might be in trrying to follow the FAA instructions and not as a serious attempt to obtain a launch license. By Sherwood Stolt.
