Second-order nonlinear differential equations of motion of rocket in drag free powered flight under thrust of constant magnitude and fixed orientation are solved by series expansions developed to seventh power of independent variable time; coefficients of each power of time are in terms of preceding ones and, consequently, in terms of initial conditions; truncation errors of series are estimated; hence their accuracy can be evaluated; case of oriented constant thrust acceleration is included.
