Ascent Trajectories and the Gravity Turn
Bethesda MD (SPX) Oct 14, 2015 - Almost all space launch vehicles liftoff from the ground in the vertical direction and continue to orbit along an ascent trajectory that is usually optimized for the conditions in order to maximize performance while maintaining conservative safety margins.
