SSTOLaunchSimulation:
Launch vehicle simulation for single stage to orbit (SSTO) vertical launch
Simulates a gravity turn trajectory in 2D. The goal is to get the vehicle
moving horizontally at orbital velocity. This demo performs a single
simulation. See also SolveGravityTurn, which performs a numerical search
for the desired initial flight path angle.
Uses RHSLaunchVehicle2D which has a 'flat' earth. The simulation can handle
any number of sequential stages.
You vary the pitchover angle to get different trajectories. The number in
the script gives the vehicle a horizontal trajectory (that begins to
drop due to drag) at 68 km. The trajectory is very sensitive to
gammaPitchover.
