Description and numerical results of Monte Carlo simulation to determine fuel requirements and final accuracy of midcourse phase is presented; example applies two midcourse corrections to null errors in 3 terminal variables; proposed simulation for missions in which burnout errors are so large that nonlinear effects are important also is described; aspects presented are basic system for fuel and accuracy analysis, technique used for trajectory computations, determination of minimum velocity increment computation of midcourse correction errors, and estimated machine time/run.
