Abstract—The paper presents some aspects regarding the mathematical model and performance evaluation for a two stages strap-on boosters launcher. This work uses two separate models dedicated for each flight phase. For the ascending phase, we will use a three degrees of freedom model in quasi–velocity frame. For the orbital phase, we will use a Gauss perturbing model. The results analysed will be in quasi-velocity frame but also some orbital parameters will be presented. Using these models, the strap-on boosters launcher performances will be evaluated. The novelty of the paper consists in orbital injection approach, with optimal manoeuvre description
Index Terms—Mathematical model, orbital injection, strap-on booster launcher performances.
