Abstract: The paper analyses the evolution of rockets used to prevent hailstone formation in turbulent atmospheric conditions. After general definitions of the turbulent atmosphere and working hypotheses, a model of a uniform and linear turbulent atmosphere, obtained from analytical relations, is presented in detail. From this model, the components of velocity of turbulence are deduced as functions of time. Introducing the components of velocity into the model of simulation of the rocket flight, a fascicle of the trajectories is obtained. The fascicle is analysed as a statistical function in six different stages. The novelty in this work is in the technique used to model the turbulent atmosphere influence on unguided rocket flight.
