AIAA R-004 Document Information:
Title
Atmospheric and Space Flight Vehicle Coordinate Systems
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1992
Scope:
This document ANSVAIAA R-004-1992 gives basic definitions and
deals with the motion of flight vehicles relative to various
inertial axis systems or relative to the atmosphere, which may be
assumed to be at rest or in translational motion at constant
velocity relative to the Earth.
The flight vehicle is assumed to be rigid; however, most of the
definitions can be applied to the case of a flexible flight
vehicle. The vehicle may be in orbit or free flight, or may be in
contact with the ground, or a carrying vehicle. The carrying
vehicle may be a flight vehicle itself or a ground launcher.
When account is taken of the variations at the Earth's surface
in the direction of the vertical (local direction of acceleration
due to gravity), the term given in the sub-clauses and figures in
question is qualified by the term "local."
See Appendix D.l for a discussion of the astronomical standards
for the definition of inertial axis systems.
