Output Example of a Class 3 Amateur Rocket Analysis

During the Sony rocket project we computed the nominal and not nominal flight profile in order to support Mavericks Civilian Space Foundation fo fill in the authorization waiver.

Test Case

The ASTOS test case is inside a gtp folder (e.g. rocket.gtp) that includes all the required files that are read by the graphical interface of our software.

Textual Output

Nominal impact positions:

  • Sustainer with parachute = 40.8403 N, 119.1948 W;
  • Booster with parachute = 40.7911 N, 119.1573 W;
  • Sustainer ballistic = 41.0238 N, 119.0845 W;
  • Booster ballistic = 40.8443 N, 119.1372 W.

Nominal altitudes and ranges:

  • Highest payload altitude above see level = 44.474 km at 99.22 seconds;
  • Highest booster altitude above see level = 5.398 km;
  • Max range sustainer with parachute = 12.448 km;
  • Max range booster with parachute = 8.876 km;
  • Max range sustainer ballistic (no parachute) = 35.117 km;
  • Max range booster ballistic (no parachute) = 2.503 km;
For the not nominal computations similar outputs are provided.

Graphical Output

The flight profile, impacts areas within three standard deviation as well as the dynamic stability is displayed through ASTOS screen-shoots. A textual version of these data (e.g. the impact positions with dispersions) is also provided.
