Optimal Trajectory Reconfiguration and Retargeting for a Reusable Launch Vehicle
Autonomous reusable launch vehicles (RLV) are being pursued as low-cost alternatives to expendable launch vehicles and the Shuttle. The employment of autonomous, reusable launch vehicles requires additional guidance and control robustness to fulfill the role of an adaptive human pilot, in the event of failures or unanticipated conditions. The guidance and control of these vehicles mandate new g...
متن کاملTrajectory Optimization for a Multistage Launch Vehicle Using Nonlinear Programming
This work is an example of application of nonlinear programming to a problem of three-dimensional trajectory optimization for multistage launch vehicles for geostationary orbit missions. The main objective is to minimize fuel consumption or equivalently to maximize the payload. The launch vehicle considered here, Europa-II, consists of 5 thrust phases and 2 coast phases. Major parameters of the...
متن کاملAngle-of-Attack Modulation in Trajectory Tracking for a Reusable Launch Vehicle
This paper deals with the problem of angle-of-attack modulation with the aim of enhancing transient performance of entry guidance during bank reversals, while compensating adverse effects of fast time-varying transient disturbances. An extended single-input/single-output system is developed in the velocity domain by means of a dynamic extension technique, and explicitly captures the trajectory ...
متن کاملAiaa 99-4160 Re-entry Trajectory Planning for a Reusable Launch Vehicle
The Shuttle's two-dimensional entry trajectory planning method is extended to threedimensions. Both angle of attack and angle of bank variations are used to control the entry trajectory. The trajectory planning is done with a third-order system of di erential equations using the drag and lateral accelerations as intermediate controls. The reducedorder planning problem is solved as an optimal co...
متن کاملReusable Launch Vehicle Design Implications for Regeneration Time Thesis
In the last few years, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) sponsored several research projects on a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) whose design, operation, and logistics requirements are intended to be much simpler than for the Space Shuttle. As part of these efforts, the previous researchers developed a discrete-event simulation model, called Maintenance, Integration, and Launch Pad Operat...
