Analytical Approach to Determine Fundamental Performance Simplified Rocket Trajectory Motion

Abstract

The natural rocket motion is just a trajectory motion if there is no special equipment assembled to deviate, and direct it follow anther root. As result, achieves maximum height or range based on design requirement. The two trajectory roots in rocket motion are A) powered trajectory motion until burn out, and B) pure trajectory motion after burn out until landing or Parachute ejection. The former condition involves two trust force and gravitational force. Therefor e, it is not pure trajectory and trajectory motion rules, formulas used with limit. The second condition is will obey simple trajectory rules and formulas since gravitational force is the primary force influence rocket motion.
