Gravity Turn Trajectories

Gravity Turn Trajectories is a launch vehicle guidance strategy wherein the vehicle's initial pitch-over maneuver establishes a trajectory that allows gravitational forces to induce a natural, gradual turn during ascent, distinguishing it from actively controlled or powered turning maneuvers.
