Analytical method of approximating the motion of a spinning vehicle with variable mass and inertia properties acted upon by several disturbing parameters / by James J. Buglia, George R. Young, Jesse D. Timmons, and Helen S. Brinkworth.

An analytical method has been developed which approximates the dispersion of a spinning symmetrical body in a vacuum, with time-varying mass and inertia characteristics, under the action of several external disturbances - initial pitching rate, thrust misalinement, and dynamic unbalance. The ration...
