Hi all,
Are there any online resources that have figures for the pithcing moment or rate of a Delta II during ascent into LEO?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Estimates of launch vehicle pitching rate
would allow you to make a reasonable guess. You'll need to get a bit more specific about the configuration as Delta II has a few options (from what I can tell).
There is a Boeing Payload Engineer's manual, but I cannot find a live link to it.
