In the 1990s, new orbital data were obtained from several mis...

Optimal Trajectory Planning for the Apollo Moon Landing: Descent, Ascent, and Aborts

This paper presents optimal trajectory solutions for guiding the Apollo Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) to and from the Moon’s surface. GPOPS− II was used to solve the nonlinear control problem, providing full state and control histories for optimal ascent, descent and abort scenarios. Although historically Apollo did not follow an optimal trajectory due to terrain and navigation constraints, the ...
