Add rocket ascent example about tudatpy-examples HOT 5 CLOSED

Oh, this is nice! With two small additions, I think this can go into the repo:

• In several places (thrust magnitude, thrust direction, angle of attack), you have implemented a custom equation. Could you add the equations explicitly into the notebook (as a latex-like equation in the text) to make explicit what you've done
• Write a brief section (a couple short paragraphs) explaining the results, and presenting why they come out the way they do, based on the settings that are provided

I think for all students working on ascent, this is going to be a really useful example. Many thanks

I will have a deeper look into this in the next few days! Looks really nice though 🙂

I have just pushed the first version of this new example. It can be seen in this new Jupyter notebook (also interactively accessible on MyBinder).

This example may be a little complex in how I set it up since I make not one but two propagations. I propagate a first rocket section (stage 1 + 2), then terminate at apogee. Then, I start a second propagation using the final state of the first section as the initial state of the second section, using different thrust, aerodynamic, and mass properties for the second section.

This results in the following (with stage separation at around 9min):

@FilippoOggionni and @DominicDirkx please feel free to comment on this new example when you have the time 🙂

Thanks, I have just pushed 22eb33a to add the equations of the model/guidance that I setup, and a section at the end to describe the results.
