Falcon 9 rocket launched simulator based on MATLAB/Simulink is created
to simulate the ascent trajectory starting from initial launch point through to
insertion point (reaching orbital speed, altitude, flight path angle). That simulator
completed by dynamic models of the Falcon 9 rocket, incorporating its weight and
balance model, propulsion model, aerodynamics model, environmental, control
and six degrees of freedom (6-DOF) equation of motion. The influenced of
aerodynamic forces and moments which acting on the rocket during flight through
the atmosphere cause must be designed a attitude control system (pitch control) to
stabilize the rocket using Thrust Vectoring Control (TVC).
Two cases of Falcon 9 launch simulation will carried out they are open loop
system and closed loop control system. Open loop system will discuss about the
non-linear system simulation (without aerodynamic moments, longitudinal dynamic
stability and full aerodynamics) and also linearized system simulation. Closed loop
control system will discuss about the linearized system simulation and
implementing the linearization process to the non-linear system (longitudinal
dynamic stability). After that we compare the open loop and closed loop result with
the Falcon 9 exist data and analyze it.
