Good description by Durk.

 

If you want to know more about ascent guidance and control, this is an
interesting and more basic look at that:

Hi Curt,

 

As far as I know, some of the early rocket models either had secondary
attitude thrusters or deflector plates placed inside the main rocket
exhaust. Modern types (i.e. anything from the 1950s onward) have used
gimbaling main engines. If you watch prelaunch space shuttle footage, you
can usually see the 3 SSMEs do a full motion cycle just before ignition.
Additionally, some rockets, including the Saturn 5 first stage, used
airfoils for improved stability.  Also, the more sophisticated engines can
throttle. IIRC, the Space Shuttle can throttle between  approx 65% and 104%
of its rated thrust. Typically it throttles back to 65 during a period of
max dynamic pressure, just around the time of solid booster separation. At
this time, it's already picked up quite a bit of velocity, but is still
going through a relatively thick atmosphere. 

 

Interestingly, another challenge is to restart a rocket engine in orbit,
because the liquid fuels are just floating around. The Saturn 5 third stage,
needing to reignite for lunar trajectory insertion, had a separate set of
solid fuel engines, which only served the purpose of pushing the fuels down
in order to enable a restart. Rather fascinating if you think about what
kind of extraordinary challenges space poses for things we take for
granted

 

Cheers,

Durk
