Modeling INS/GPS/Star-Tracker in Six-Degrees-of-Freedom: Second Edition

Immerse yourself into my high-fidelity M&S of a paramount aerospace technology. You should be well versed in G&C and C++ literate. This SECOND EDITION is updated and enlarged. With more than 90 figures, 40 code examples, and 14 exercises you take a deep dive into navigation, guidance and control of a solid rocket booster. The complimentary C++ simulation ROCKET6G may be obtained following the instructions in the book. What Others Said"Everything authored by Dr. Peter H. Zipfel is outstanding and original. A lot to learn from his books."What's Inside How to model a three-stage solid rocket booster in six degrees-of-freedomPlacing 24 GPS satellites into orbit and extrapolating their trajectories in timeModeling the uncertainties of GPS measurements and using them to update the INS with an Extended Kalman FilterUsing fixed-star constellations to reduce the tilt error of the INSConducting filter trade studies to improve accuracy using Monte Carlo techniquesEstablishing the rocket's insertion accuracy-ellipse with mean and standard deviationThe Author Peter H. Zipfel is a graduate of the University Stuttgart, Germany, and the Catholic University of America with a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. He founded Modeling and Simulation Technologies, which advises and instructs in the functional integration of aerospace systems using computer simulations. For 35 years he taught courses in modeling and simulation, guidance and control, and flight dynamics at the University of Florida; and over the span of 50 years he created aerospace simulations of helicopters, missiles, aircraft, and hypersonic vehicles for the German Helicopter Institute, the U.S. Army, and the U.S. Air Force. He is an AIAA Associate Fellow and an internationally recognized short course instructor.Other Publications by the Author Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics * Building Aerospace Simulations in C++ * Fundamentals of Six DoF Aerospace Simulations and Analysis * Advanced Six DoF Aerospace Simulations and Analysis in C++ * The Tensor Flight Dynamics Tutor * Flight Dynamics Workshop in Three Days * C++ Aerospace Workshop in Two Days * Missile and Rocket Simulation Workshop in four Days * Introduction to Tensor Flight Dynamics * Tensor Flight Dynamics Workshop in Two Days.
