this paper presents a design methodology for an aerospace launch vehicle autopilot. The non stationary characteristics during the atmospheric flight impose to use a gain scheduled approach for a Linear Time Varying System. The important result is that the chosen interpolation is forced to be linear and the stability is guaranteed
Keywords: gain scheduling, interpolation, discrete-time systems, aerospace launch vehicle.
