Well, the launcher imparts some kinetic energy to the missile. The rockets do not fire in any missile unless it is completely off the ground, so the missile, even if it was a ground launched one, does not have to accelerate from zero.From the ground is the most important word to note here.
Because a missile launched from the ground will be naturally more heavy as it have to start off from sea level and wont have the initial acceleration of a missile launched from fighter flying at supersonic speeds from high altitudes.
No, it is not a test of the simulation technology.what s the funda with simulated target ?
are they testing the simulation technology ?
come on , so only once it hit actual target and twice it hit simulated target in space.
It basically means they were testing the guidance system and kinetic package in the first test and the guidance systems solely in the next two tests with simulated target.
