Dispersion analysis for baseline reference mission 3A with 400,000 foot entry interface altitude

摘要

A dispersion analysis considering 3 beta uncertainties in platform, vehicle, and environmental parameters is described. Powered explicit guidance used to develop closed loop steering commands, the nominal profile, and entry interface conditions are discussed. The groundrules and assumptions for the analysis are reviewed. The results presented include dispersion data at specific time slices from liftoff to entry interface, covariance matrices, summary data, and exchange ratios.
