Test of Launch Vehicle simulation applet
This shows attitude control response for a Centaur upper-stage launch vehicle, carrying
a payload with mass properties similar to those of the Galileo spacecraft.
Shortcomings of this applet
- Structural bending is not considered.
- Some design parameters are fixed -- only the
control system constants are fully user-selectable.
- If you refresh the applet, not all initial
conditions are reset.
