Abstract
We formulated the convex optimization based minimum energy soft landing problem for reusable launch vehicles, and obtained the minimum time trajectory via the bisection search. In order to implement the the optimal guidance command and complete the flight control architectures on the soft landing stage, we designed the classical attitude control loops, and formulated and solved the optimal actuator allocation problem. The obtained soft landing guidance performance was analyzed via nonlinear 6-DOF simulation.
