Abstract

Based on the public materials, this paper collects the overall parameters of SpaceX's super heavy starship launch vehicle, estimates some of the undisclosed parameters required for the calculation in order to meet the requirements of the simulation, and carries out the study of the optimal trajectory design method for the vertical return of the two-stage rocket on this basis, and completes the simulation of the super heavy starship rocket for a typical LEO launch mission.
