- The analysis of the ascent of a single-stage rocket from a planetary surface to orbit on a gravity-turn trajectory is extended to quickly arrive at an expression for the burnout-to-initial mass ratio of a single-stage vehicle ascending in vacuo. As a result, some bounds on the optimum initial vehicle thrust-to-weight ratio are established.
