ABSTRACT:
A rocket thrust vector control system including jet tabs and aerodynamic control surfaces is disclosed. The control system removes roll information present in commands to the aerodynamic surfaces and provides only pitch and yaw information to the jet tabs for the thrust vector control. The roll information is removed by a geared summing mechanism. The resulting pitch and yaw output is used to drive the thrust vector control jet tabs. The same powered actuators are used for both the aerodynamic control surfaces and the jet tabs.
