Return-to-launch-site variable range-velocity line
Abstract
The effect of moving the return-to-launch-site (RTLS) range-velocity (R-V) line closer to the landing site was studied. Results are presented which show that a five nautical mile shift in R-V line causes the last RTLS abort to occur approximately one second earlier and that the excess range capability to terminal-area-energy-management interface can be dissipated without an excessive roll angle history.
