What is Rocket Equation Analysis for Altitude Calculation about?
This document summarizes the calculations for a multi-stage rocket problem from example 7.4 in the Weisel textbook on page 226. It involves calculating the burnout velocities and maximum altitude reached for a two-stage rocket system. The first stage burns to a velocity of 2702 m/s and the second stage burns to 5727 m/s total. The maximum altitude calculated is 1325.75 km, though the author notes getting a negative value and thinks the reference altitude should be taken as 1 km instead.
