I've been trying to launch a satellite into an orbit of 260 km x 260 km using the Titan II. During the first stage I reach 30 deg (slowly pitching down from the start) in about 150 seconds. ApA at this moment is around 280-300 km. Taking this into account I've got to pitch down during the second stage to about -10 deg. After this I try to adjust everything in such a way that my ApA gets to 260 km (at this moment I pitch up to almost 0 deg to stop ApA from dropping any lower) at the same time trying to decrease my VS to 0. Maintaining zero VS I'm waiting while my PeA reaches 260 (or close to) and shut down the booster.
So, is this Okay or is it not how they do it out in real life? Do they pitch to negative values? Or maybe they do it in a completely different way?
Thanks.
