Moon Landing Trajectory Optimization
Trajectory optimization is a crucial process during the planning phase of a spacecraft landing mission. Once a trajectory is determined, guidance algorithms are created to guide the vehicle along the given trajectory. Because fuel mass is a major driver of the total vehicle mass, and thus mission cost, the objective of most guidance algorithms is to minimize the required fuel consumption. Most ...
متن کاملPerch Landing Assisted by Thruster (plat): Six D.o.f Trajectory Optimization
This paper handles a trajectory optimization of fixed wing aircraft perch landing assisted by thruster. The paper develops aircraft model and deals with six-degree-of-freedom motion for further understanding of dynamic phenomena of proposed landing method. The landing maneuver is described as an optimal control problem minimizing the fuel consumption with specified terminal landing conditions. ...
متن کاملPerch Landing Assisted by Thruster (PLAT): Concept and Trajectory Optimization
A concept of the perch landing assisted by thruster (PLAT) for a fixed wind aircraft is proposed in this paper. The proposed concept is applicable to relatively large unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), hence can overcome the limitation of existing perch landing technologies. A planar rigid body motion of an aircraft with aerodynamic and thruster forces and moments is modeled. An optimal control pr...
متن کاملOptimal 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 ...
متن کاملConcurrent Trajectory and Vehicle Optimization: A Case Study of Earth-Moon Supply Chain Logistics
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate an integrated system design optimization approach for space system networks. The decisions made during the initial design phases for a complex system, will drastically affect the final product at the architectural level. Traditionally, the design process for a complex system involves the sequential design of the sub-system components, which may lead...
