Trajectory Calculation - MIT OpenCourseWare
D aerodynamic drag A drag reference area ()˙ time derivative ( = d()/dt ) i time index Trajectory equations The vertical trajectory of a rocket is described by the altitude and velocity, h(t), V (t), which are functions of time. These are called state variables of the rocket.
