Rocket Takeoff AND LANDING! - Matlab & Simulink Tutorial 

This is a tutorial on how to perform a full flight simulation of a rocket taking off and landing. You will learn how a gravity turn works, the deorbit descent phase, boostback and entry burn, and controlling the pitch angle for a vertical touchdown.
It will be assumed that a single stage rocket takes off and lands i.e there is no stage seperation for this tutorial. You can then visualize it in FlightGear. If you do not have FlightGear, I also show you how to use MATLAB 3D Animation instead, which is just as good!
