Abstract
A computer program has been developed to determine the real time variation of vehicle mass properties during simulated flight analysis. In addition to mass property calculations, the program has the capability of providing a ‘best case’ deployment sequence for multiple payload vehicles.
The effect of mission profile and deployment sequence as related to propulsion system design requirements are reviewed for two sample multiple payload deployment vehicles. For each vehicle studied, the major concern was the placement of
the main axial engine and its effect on other propulsion system components due to induced gumball angle requirements resulting from the sequential deployment of payload.
