Abstract

This paper describes a novel general on-board guidance strategy which can be applied toboth the aerodynamically-controlled descent and the powered landing phase of reusable rockets.The proposed guidance method is based on sequential convex optimization applied to a Cartesianrepresentation of the equations of motion. The contributions are an exploitation of convexand non-convex contributions, which are processed separately to maximize the computationalefficiency of the approach, the inclusion of highly nonlinear terms represented by aerodynamicaccelerations, a complete reformulation of the problem based on the use of Euler angle rates ascontrol means, an improved transcription based on the use of a generalized hp pseudospectralmethod, and a dedicated formulation of the aerodynamic guidance problem for reusable rockets.The problem is solved for a 40 kN-class reusable rocket. Results show that the proposedtechnique is a very effective methodology able to satisfy all the constraints acting on the system,and can be potentially employed online to solve the entire descent phase of reusable rockets inreal-time.
