Err...ahh...strategy...ahh...well I guess I better ask my admin what to make of this. Lately though, we have been applying our Rocket Scientist training to these situations. For example, instead of technical analysis we have been using guided missile principles. To help you appreciate rocket guidance, just imagine you're running at a right angle to get on a moving bus which has its door open. There are basically four methods of getting to the door. (1) You could simply run straight toward the door at all times as it moves. (2) You could run at a fixed course that depends on the closing speed and some initial sightline angle. (3) You could lead by a changing angle that depends on closing speed and the bus' angular speed. (proportional navigation) (4) You could run at some constant sighting angle to the door at all times (demand angle of sight). Some of these strategies work more efficiently than others, but may be impractical to implement in an amateur rocket. Thanks.
