Abstract: Abstract: Based on observation data and ballistic theory, a simple model was established to analyze the influence of atmospheric vertical structure on the weather modification rocket ballistic performance during the ascending phase. The results indicate that the intensity and direction of the horizontal wind field have significant impact on ballistic performance, especially in low level wind fields below 1000m height. The impact of air density was relatively small. The model could be beneficial for ballistic correction, include ballistic height, deflection, and distance. It would provide relatively accurate prediction trajectory of weather modification rocket.
