| Description | The entry-to-touchdown space shuttle orbiter simulation capability incorporated into the GEMASS subprogram 33 (3-DOF) is documented. A digital autopilot interfaces between GEMASS and the guidance. Vehicle attitude is determined by use of the ability of GEMASS to integrate differential equations in addition to the equations of motion. Vehicle aerodynamic characteristics are obtained from an aerodynamic data tape and control surface deflections required to trim the vehicle, and trimmed aerodynamic coefficients are determined internally. Several indicators to allow evaluation of subsystem performance are included; as is the ability of the user to activate any of several error dispersion sources. The performance of the simulation compares well with more sophisticated simulations. |
