KSP + kOS + MATLAB

[Ricardo.b]

I took some data from ksp using KOS and came up with a trajectory plot in MATLAB. here is the result:

 

I'm flattening my trajectory at 150km for the moment because the script parameters for trajectory. this is my first plot to work these parameters, next weekend goal: optimize it!

What's the context? Data is useless without context.

[Ricardo.b]

the context is data visualization

@Ricardo.b wait you worked out a launch trajectory formula using kos and ksp? What data did you get from kos that helped you develop this?

[Ricardo.b]

@ILikeIke nope. I made a controller that traces a reference signal based on 5 parameters:

 

//set trajectory parameters:
SET alpha to 0.009.
SET R TO 100.          //end altitudde of the gravity turn [km]
SET Delta TO 5.       //start of gravity turn [km]
SET turnStart TO 30.  //turn start interpolation 
SET endAngle TO 5.    //final angle of the gravity turn [deg]
SET tgtApoapsis TO 200000.  //[m]
SET tgtPeriapsis TO 200000.  //[m]

also the script returns some data (I want to implement more) to see how different rockets behave with same parameters, then I can change as I want.

when I make it t, I plan to write an iterative plot where I can compare several data graphics

I forgot to mention that i'm in 6.4x Kerbin Scale
