Autonomous Upper Stage Guidance with Robust Splash-Down Constraint
Boris Benedikter, Alessandro Zavoli, Guido Colasurdo +2
This paper presents a novel algorithm, based on model predictive control (MPC), for the optimal guidance of a launch vehicle upper stage. The proposed strategy not only maximizes t…
Stochastic Control of Launch Vehicle Upper Stage with Minimum-Variance Splash-Down
Boris Benedikter, Alessandro Zavoli, Guido Colasurdo +2
This paper presents a novel synthesis method for designing an optimal and robust guidance law for a non-throttleable upper stage of a launch vehicle, using a convex approach. In th…
Convex Optimization of Launch Vehicle Ascent Trajectory with Heat-Flux and Splash-Down Constraints
Boris Benedikter, Alessandro Zavoli, Guido Colasurdo +2
This paper presents a convex programming approach to the optimization of a multistage launch vehicle ascent trajectory, from the liftoff to the payload injection into the target or…
