Problem of automatic stabilization system for rocket with high altitude nearly vertical trajectory; flight path solved by employing three separate subsystems: (1) motor control system which obtains corrective moments by altering line of thrust of liquid rocket engine, (2) aerodynamic roll system employs movable tabs attached to two of fins, and (3) thrust reaction system which obtains control moments through use of small jet motors.
