Evaluation of an Adaptive Method for Launch Vehicle Flight Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
the amount of analysis and testing required per mission must be reduced over that performed for the partially re-usable Space Shuttle. A goal for future RLV flight control is to design and test the flight control system to operate within a prescribed flight envelope and loading margin, and requiring only payload/fuel parameters and “route” to be specified for a given mission. It has been estimated that this level of improvement would save three man-years of labor per RLV mission. EVALUATION OF AN ADAPTIVE METHOD FOR LAUNCH VEHICLE FLIGHT CONTROL

Nonlinear Optimal Control Techniques Applied to a Launch Vehicle Autopilot
This paper presents an application of the nonlinear optimal control techniques to the design of launch vehicle autopilots. The optimal control is given by the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which in this case cannot be solved explicity. A method based upon Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA), is used to obtain an approximate optimal solution. Simulation results invo...
متن کاملRobust Integral Sliding-Mode Control of an Aerospace Launch Vehicle
An analysis of on-line autonomous robust tracking controller based on variable structure control is presented for an aerospace launch vehicle. Decentralized sliding-mode controller is designed to achieve the decoupled asymptotic tracking of guidance commands upon plant uncertainties and external disturbances. Development and application of the controller for an aerospace launch vehicle during a...
متن کاملAdaptive Quaternion Attitude Control of Aerodynamic Flight Control Vehicles
Conventional quaternion based methods have been extensively employed for spacecraft attitude control where the aerodynamic forces can be neglected. In the presence of aerodynamic forces, the flight attitude control is more complicated due to aerodynamic moments and inertia uncertainties. In this paper, a robust nero-adaptive quat...
متن کاملAdaptive attitude controller of a reentry vehicles based on Back-stepping Dynamic inversion method
This paper presents an attitude control algorithm for a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) with a low lift/drag ratio (L/D < 0.5), in the presence of external disturbances, model uncertainties, control output constraints and the thruster model. The main novelty of proposed control strategy is a new combination of the attitude control methods included backstepping, dynamic inversion and adaptive cont...
متن کاملTrajectory Optimization for a Multistage Launch Vehicle Using Nonlinear Programming
This work is an example of application of nonlinear programming to a problem of three-dimensional trajectory optimization for multistage launch vehicles for geostationary orbit missions. The main objective is to minimize fuel consumption or equivalently to maximize the payload. The launch vehicle considered here, Europa-II, consists of 5 thrust phases and 2 coast phases. Major parameters of the...
