The E-Rocket: Low-cost Testbed for TVC Rocket GNC Validation
Pedro Santos, André Fonte, Pedro Martins +1
This paper presents the E-Rocket, an electric-powered, low-cost rocket prototype for validation of Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) algorithms based on Thrust Vector Control (T…
Robust Global Position and Heading Tracking on SE(3) via Saturated Hybrid Feedback
LuÃs Martins, Carlos Cardeira, Paulo Oliveira
This letter presents a novel control solution to the robust global position and heading tracking problem for underactuated vehicles, equipped with single-axis thrust and full torqu…
Control and Navigation of a 2-D Electric Rocket
André Fonte, Pedro Santos, Paulo Oliveira
This work addresses the control and navigation of a simulated two-dimensional electric rocket. The model provides a simplified framework that neglects actuator dynamics and aerodyn…
Pitch Plane Trajectory Tracking Control for Sounding Rockets via Adaptive Feedback Linearization
Pedro dos Santos, Paulo Oliveira
This paper proposes a pitch plane trajectory tacking control solution for suborbital launch vehicles relying on adaptive feedback linearization. Initially, the 2D dynamics and kine…
