Abstract:Aerocapture maneuvers refer to a single atmospheric crossing to deplete orbital energy and establish a closed orbit. During the atmospheric flight, adjusting the spacecraft’s vertical lift component in an optimal manner, bang-bang bank control, will minimize the propulsion fuel consumption required to establish the target orbit. However, such methods have been suffering from the performance’s oversensitivity to the control’s instantaneous switching time and poor robustness. To address these problems, we propos… Show more
