  1. Vertical Take-Off and Landing Control via Dual-Quaternions and Sliding Mode

    Sonderegger, Joshua

    <p>The landing and reusability of space vehicles is one of the driving forces into renewed interest in space utilization. For missions to planetary surfaces, this soft landing has been most commonly accomplished with parachutes. However, in spite of their simplicity, they are susceptible to …

  2. Autonomous optimal trajectory design employing convex optimization for powered descent on an asteroid

    Pinson, Robin2016

    … must reliably and softly land at the intended landing site with pinpoint precision. The problem under investigation is how to design a propellant (fuel) optimal powered descent trajectory that can be quickly computed onboard the spacecraft, without interaction from ground control. The goal is …
