         You need to control a rocket's vertical angle.  If you wiggle the fin, when you apply a unit step voltage to the control motor, the motor driving the fin has a .1 sec time constant, and the rocket has a one second time constant for the rotation rate.  That leads to a transfer function like this:

G(s) = Kr/[(.1s + 1)(s + 1)]
 
 


You need to design a control system for the rocket to control the angle off the vertical.  Assume that you have a sensor that gives you the angle off vertical.  The closed loop system has the following specs.
