Throwing a stone on earth, starting a rocket from earth

[Analog_Engine.git] / scripts / EP1 04.02 Starting a Rocket_b.LACE

# A rocket is started from the surface of the earth. Calculating the height as function of its mass and fuel consumption. 
# Approximation of acceleration with Taylor series
# Equation of motion
# r'' = (alpha / m0)*v0 + (alpha/m0)²*v0*t - gamma * ME / r²
#   alpha: fuel consumption, e.g. 2000t in 2,5 min = 13,333*10^3 kg/s
#   m0: initial mass of rocket, e.g. Saturn V: 2900 t = 2,9*10^6 kg
#   v0: the velocity of the exhaust of the rocket: 3,180*10^3 m/s
#   gamma: gravitational constant: 6,6743E-11 m³/(kg*s²)
#   ME: mass of earth: 5,97E+24 kg
