Abstract
A Rocket is flown with variable thrust equated to the drag and with constant path –inclination by varying the lift
coefficient using the angle of attack as a control parameter besides variation of the propellant mass consumption.
Hence the equations of motion of the rocket are formed and solved to determine time as a function of velocity, mass
as a function of velocity and the lift coefficient as a function of velocity which suggests time- varying lift coefficient
as a control parameter to accomplish the mission.
