    What is a launch vehicle’s roll program?

    The roll program is a maneuver performed by a launch vehicle during ascent. It involves the vehicle rolling about its longitudinal axis to control its orientation and adjust its flight path. The roll program is often necessary to align the vehicle with the desired orbit or for other operational reasons.
