The use of the difference in chamber pressure between solid rocket booster engines as a controlling signal to the flight control system during booster thrust tailoff was examined. In addition, the control capability of the Generalized Attitude Control System (GACS) was compared to that of the baseline. Results indicate that the difference in chamber pressure signal provided essentially no improvement. However, the GACS is considerably better than the baseline in controlling during tailoff disturbances. (Author)
