Study of automatic guidance system designed to deliver accurately fixed angle-of-attack re-entry vehicle to preselected landing site as much as 12,000 nautical mi down-range and results of analog and digital closed-loop trajectory simulations; system employs high speed computer to predict intermittently vehicle maneuver capability and to select proper roll angle required to hit desired landing point.
