The current roll maneuver to the flight azimuth following lift-off is achieved by commanding roll attitude using a linear profile with no roll rate command. The linearity of this command profile implies an infinite acceleration to a constant roll rate; the vehicle cannot instantaneously achieve this rate, so the actual roll attitude lags the command attitude throughout the maneuver. The roll attitude error which thus develops can be reduced by augmenting the attitude command with a rate command and utilizing finite slopes on the rate command to give the vehicle time to accelerate. Results obtained from commanding various roll attitude and rate combinations to perform the maneuver are presented. (Author)
