Title: Point-Mass Simulation Tool (PMAST) user's manual

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6034668

The Point-Mass Simulation Tool (PMAST) is designed to meet the need for a comprehensive conceptual-level trajectory analysis tool that is easy to use. Three degree-of-freedom equations of motion that simulate the flight vehicle as a point mass are used to compute the trajectories. Guidance commands input by the user control the vehicle so that it performans the desired maneuvers. During the development of PMAST, special attention was given to the input and output data formats in an effort to make the code easy to use. This manual describes the format of the input and output data files, and it shows how to execute the program on both the VAX and CRAY computer systems. 5 refs., 81 figs.
