Abstract:
Two possible modes of longitudinal correction are discussed. One utilizes a unidirectional thrust capability and the other a bidirectional capability. A typical system will probably contain both capabilities with a hot gas engine providing the unidirectional thrust and a cold gas engine providing the bidirectional thrust. A discussion of the general problem and the sources of error are presented and a simplified model for the system is given. The unidirectional, or hot gas, system is described. A discussion is included of the fixed aiming point technique. The bidirectional, or cold gas, system is also described. Author
