Exploiting Technological Synergies for Future Launch Vehicles
Two launch vehicle concepts based on technologies available today or in a short term future in Western Europe are presented. The design of both launchers has the goal of exploiting synergies with current European programs to limit development and operational costs. Technologies of particular interest here are the high performance solid rocket motors with carbon-epoxy filament wound monolithic m...
متن کاملGeneric Simulation Models of Reusable Launch Vehicles
Analyzing systems by means of simulation is necessarily a time consuming process. This becomes even more pronounced when models of multiple systems must be compared. In general, and even more so in today’s fast-paced environment, competitive pressure does not allow for waiting on the results of a lengthy analysis. That competitive pressure also makes it more imperative that the processing perfo...
متن کاملLaunch Processing System
This paper presents a functional description of the Launch Processing System, which provides automatic ground checkout and control of the Space Shuttle launch site and airborne systems, with emphasis placed on the Checkout, Control, and Monitor Subsystem. Hardware and software modular design concepts for the distributed computer system are reviewed relative to performing system tests, launch op...
متن کاملAdaptive Guidance Systems for Hypersonic Reusable Launch Vehicles
1 0-7803-6599-2/01/$10.00 © 2001 IEEE. Abstract— This paper presents an adaptive guidance system approach applied to hypersonic Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs). After an effector failure, it is assumed that the inner-closed-loop system utilizes a reconfigurable control algorithm to recover nominal maneuvering capabilities to the extent possible. However, nominal performance will typically not b...
متن کاملLimited Authority Adaptive Flight Control for Reusable Launch Vehicles
In the application of adaptive flight control, significant issues arise due to limitations in the plant inputs, such as: actuator displacement limits, actuator rate limits, linear input dynamics, and time delay. A method is introduced that allows an adaptive law to be designed for the system without these input characteristics, and then to be applied to the system with these characteristics, wi...
