Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses ARIANE 5 dynamics and control. Along with the development of the ARIANE 5 launcher, as a support task to the Industrial Architect, a number of activities related to dynamics and control have been performed by MBB/ERNO, which can be grouped according to their different nature and development of a simulation program. The major objective of the detailed analysis of the lift-off process was to verify that, under various wind conditions, and under consideration of the range of variation of various parameters, sufficient clearance is always available between the launch tower, or platform on one hand, and the launcher on the other hand. For this purpose, the lift-off process was simulated in detail, beginning with the ignition commands to the boosters, and ending when the launcher had reached an altitude of about 100 m.
