01: Ascent

Oral presentation at the conference

This work presents the new set of equations of motion incorporated in ASTOS release 9.3.

The new implemented feature, based on DCAP multibody software, provides the building blocks to simulate a complete launcher scenario considering vehicle flexibility, sloshing effects, stages separation, engine pressure oscillations and complex aerodynamic loads distribution.
The interaction between...
