Optimal Control of the Atmospheric Reentry of a Space Shuttle by an Homotopy Method
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the optimal control problem of the atmospheric reentry of a space shuttle with a second-order state constraint on the thermal flux. We solve the problem using the shooting algorithm combined with an homotopy method which automatically determines the structure of the optimal trajectory (composed of one boundary arc and one touch point). Key-words: Optimal control, State constraint, Shooting algorithm, Homotopy method, Atmospheric reentry. ∗ CMAP, École Polytechnique, INRIA Saclay Île-de-France, Route de Saclay, 91128 Palaiseau, France. Commande optimale de la rentrée atmosphérique d’une navette spatiale par une méthode d’homotopie Résumé : Dans cet article, on s’intéresse au problème de commande optimale de la rentrée atmosphérique d’une navette spatiale avec une contrainte sur l’état du second ordre sur le flux thermique. Le problème est résolu par l’algorithme de tir combiné à une méthode d’homotopie qui détermine automatiquement la structure de la trajectoire (composée d’un arc frontière et d’un point de contact isolé).

A continuation approach to state and adjoint calculation in optimal control applied to the reentry problem
A well–known problem in indirect optimal control is to find a suitable initial guess for the adjoint states which is sufficiently close to the optimal solution. This paper presents a new homotopy approach to overcome this problem by deriving an auxiliary optimal control problem (OCP) for which the adjoint states are simply zero. A continuation method is employed to smoothly reach the original O...
متن کاملConstructive Methods for Initialization and Handling Mixed State-Input Constraints in Optimal Control
Newmethods are presented to address two issues in indirect optimal control: the calculation of a starting point for the numerical solution and the consideration of mixed state-input constraints. In the first method, an auxiliary optimal control problem is constructed from a given initial trajectory of the system. Its adjoint variables are simply zero. This auxiliary problem is then used within ...
متن کاملReentry Trajectory Optimization under Atmospheric Uncertainty as a Di erential Game
If solutions of optimal control problems are to be realized in practical applications, one has to take into account the in uence of unpredictable disturbances. If lower and upper bounds for the disturbances are known, one can investigate the so-called worst case. This worst case can be formulated as a two-person di erential game and its solution in closed form provides the optimal feedback cont...

A numerical trajectory optimization study of two types of lifting-entry reentry vehicle has been presented at low suborbital speed of 4.113 km/s and -15 degree entry angle. These orbital speeds are typical of medium range ballistic missile with ballistic range of approximately 2000 km at optimum burnout angle of approximately 41 degree for maximum ballistic range. A lifting reentry greatly enha...
