SECTION-B

2. What are various types of missiles? With the help of neat diagrams, explain their basic features and functions.
3. What is a multi stage rocket and what are its advantages? Derive the expressions for ideal velocity of a three stage rocket. Each stage of the rocket has different mass, specific impulse and burn time.
4. With the help of neat diagram, explain various features of launch vehicle ascent trajectory and also describe dependence of orbital parameters on in-plane injection parameters.
5. Explain two important applications of earth oblateness effect in terms of regression of nodes and line of apsides.

6. With the help of neat diagram, explain trajectory geometry and re entry trajectory of a ballistic missile.

SECTION-C

7. With the help of neat diagram, explain various attitude control methods used for spinning and non spinning spacecraft.
8. With the help of neat diagram, explain inclination change maneuver and Hohmann transfer method used for a satellite.
9. (a) Prove that orbital velocity of a circular orbit of radius 'r' is given by V = v(µ/r), where µ = GM, G = universal gravitational constant, M = mass of earth.
