Abstract:

In an effort to bridge the gap between theory and practice, the re-entry problem area is chosen to apply advanced control techniques. This problem area affords many separate areas where theory could be applied. This volume is separated into two parts Part 1 describes digital computer controlled adaptive processes which can be employed for the flight path control problem i.e., control of a vehicle about a predetermined trajectory optimal or otherwise. In Part 2 optimal re-entry trajectories are determined. Author
