1. A method for controlling autopilot roll capture of a rocket comprising:
calculating a start time for de-spin of the rocket; and implementing a rate of de-spin of the rocket such that regardless of an initial rocket spin rate, the roll capture process completes at a predetermined time based on the calculated start time and the implemented rate of de-spin.
