Hi,
I thought about how a launch autopilot could work for multi stage launch vehicles, but I'm way over my head :facepalm:
But if multi stage vehicles had a config file like that :
-stage1 : duration , thrust , mass, deltaMass / deltaT
-stage2 : duration , thrust , mass, deltaMass / deltaT
and then knowing the mass for the payload and final orbital parameters (PeA, ApA, Inc), could it be possible to devise the pitch program necessary to obtain the correct orbit ?
Is there someone on this forum knowledgeable enough in this field to give it some thoughts ?
