User's manual for the Trajectory Simulation and Analysis Program (TSAP)
The Trajectory Simulation and analysis Program (TSAP) provides a generalized package for studying point-mass trajectory problems. TSAP expands upon the input and output features of the code PMAST, from which it is derived. All important features, such as trajectory segmentation, iterative parameter searches and surveys, user defined output values, and target vehicle simulation, have been maintained and often improved. Differences include the ways in which vehicle orientation can be defined, the free format table input option, the coordinate systems for initial condition specification, and the capability to simulate vehicle launch from zero velocity. This report documents the mathematical basis of the trajectory simulation and explicitly defines the input and output variables. General input gruidelines and examples are also presented.
