## What The Docs Define
- [`docs/AERO 3220 3DOF Information Spring 26.pdf`](./docs/AERO%203220%203DOF%20Information%20Spring%2026.pdf) defines the assignment, required plots, and evaluation settings.
- [`docs/Atmosphere Model SI Units.pdf`](./docs/Atmosphere%20Model%20SI%20Units.pdf) provides the SI-unit atmosphere equations for temperature, pressure, density, acoustic speed, and Mach number.
- [`docs/Atmosphere Model SI Units.pdf`](./docs/Atmosphere%20Model%20SI%20Units.pdf) provides the SI-unit atmosphere equations for temperature, pressure, density, acoustic speed, and Mach number for the lower-atmosphere branch shown in the handout.
- [`docs/Missile and Target Data for 3DOF Spring 26.pdf`](./docs/Missile%20and%20Target%20Data%20for%203DOF%20Spring%2026.pdf) is the source packet for the missile and target geometry, propulsion, and drag data that must be transcribed into the simulation.
## Instructor Clarification
Per professor guidance documented on `2026-03-28`:
- The atmosphere model must be written and integrated into the 3DOF simulation.
- The final atmosphere implementation must include the stratosphere model for altitudes above `11 km`.
- The source files are intentionally incomplete until the missing `XX` values are replaced with real numbers from the assignment material.
## Assignment Baseline
The course handout specifies these evaluation values:

At the moment, the repository is a partially completed assignment skeleton rather than a finished simulation:
- Multiple required values are still marked as `XX`.
- `getRho.m` is referenced by the code but is not present in the repository.
- `getRho.m` is referenced by the code but is not present in the repository, so the atmosphere model has not been integrated yet.
- When `getRho.m` is added, it must support both the lower-atmosphere branch and the required stratosphere branch for `z > 11 km`.
- The missile/target data packet still needs to be fully transcribed into MATLAB arrays and constants.
## Working Expectations
- Keep units in SI unless a source document explicitly states otherwise.
- Treat `/docs` as the authoritative source for assignment requirements and parameter values.
- Treat `/docs` and direct instructor clarifications as authoritative for assignment requirements and parameter values.
- Record assumptions, extracted tables, unresolved issues, and verification status in [`MEMORY.md`](./MEMORY.md).
