Summary:

This 1962 Handbook has been prepared as one of a series on the design of ballistic missiles. It presents the equations of motion as applied to both simple and complex trajectory conditions; analyzes the power phase, vacuum phase, and re-entry phase of missile trajectories including the various corrections which must be considered; and discusses certain special topics such as skip and glide trajectories, and Coriolis effect. Simplified graphs of required launch angles to obtain desired trajectories from various initial latitudes and velocities are also included.

Notes:
