An extended analytic range corrector method for the space shuttle entry guidance algorithm
Space shuttle entry guidance with an extended analytic range corrector method is presented. The guidance method is a variation of Shuttle entry guidance in which the parameters that define the drag profile are modified using quadratic splines to make the drag profile smooth and easier to customize. …
