Boost navigation and guidance

Abstract

The verification that the boost mode portion of the flight program correctly provides navigation and guidance functions for the vehicle during periods when significant, measurable accelerations exist was described. Many test cases and performance cases are made, testing the ability of the navigation and guidance routines to properly compensate for several perturbations. Various plots of special interest parameters are made on all performance cases, facilitating a check on each calculation (each boost major loop) of these parameters.
