Abstract

The article presents an integrated approach for the design and control of entry trajectories. The output of the analytical design process is a drag profile together with the nominal sink rate and bank control. All quantities are functions of specific energy. The trajectory design is strongly related to a path control law, which consists of a linear feedback of the drag and sink rate errors. The control design is based on the solution of a globally valid linear model. In simulations, the guidance and control algorithm produces smooth and precise flight paths.
