Abstract:Rocket reusability is a key-factor for a sustainable and cost-effective future of space missions. Despite successes in this technology, some of the open problems remain an impediment to further development. For example, the descent phase presents important challenges from a guidance and control perspective, because, due to model and environment uncertainty, the optimal re-entry trajectory is often unknown a priori. As a result, the previously designed (or offline) controller may be unable to track the referenc… Show more
