    Homework 2 for ENGRMAE 146 - Astronautics is due on Friday, January 22nd at 5:00 pm. Students must complete Problem 11.1 in Curtis' textbook, run MatLab codes to numerically integrate the planar ascent profile of a rocket using varying pitch over altitude and initial flight path angle values, and report the results in a table. Students also must select pitch over altitude and initial flight path angle values to achieve a burnout altitude of 100±1km and use conservation of energy and angular momentum to predict and compare the apogee values to those from the numerical integration.

    ENGRMAE 146 Astronautics

    Homework 2 due Friday 1/22, 5:00 pm

    1. Do Problem 11.1 in Curtis 3rd edition.


    2. Complete the provided MatLab codes and perform numerical

    integration to compute the planar ascent profile for a rocket similar to


    that described in Example 11.3 in Curtis 3rd edition. (The parameters
    are already included in the files).
    Use the following values for pitch over altitude and initial flight path
    angle:
    h_p = [90,100,110,120] m
    _p = [89.84, 89.85, 89.86, 89.87, 89.88] deg
    Report in a table the values for altitude, velocity and flight path angle
    at burnout, and the altitude at apogee (when applicable) for each of
    the 20 cases.
    (modify only MAIN_2D_rocket.m and func_ODE_2D_rocket.m)
    3. Select h_p and _p so that the burnout altitude is h_bo=1001km. Use

    the conservation of energy and angular momentum, to predict the


    apogee distance and velocity based on the conditions determined
    numerically at burnout. Compare the values you get to the ones
    generated by numerical integration which did not neglect drag. How
    accurate are the predictions? Why?
