Lineamenti del progetto di un veicolo per una missione lunare completa

Abstract

In this work, on t h e basis of an approximate formulation,
the merely gravitational phases of t he mission are investigated; after having
stated in this way the boundary conditions for the propelled phases, the related
equations are considered in order to reach proper expressions for
mass ratio.
Missile division in stages is the further aim of the work: tlie study furnishes
some useful design formulas. By applying these formulas some basic
results are stated and discussed.
