Pitch-Control Predictor-Corrector and Neural Network Ascent Guidance
A pitch-control predictor-corrector ascent guidance algorithm has been developed and evaluated for a rocket-based upper stage of a two-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle. Detailed descriptions of the predictor-corrector algorithm and a neural network loop modification are given. The mission requirement …

Optimal Engine Selection and Trajectory Optimization using Genetic Algorithms for Conceptual Design Optimization of Resuable Launch Vehicles
… for Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs) is a key factor in the design of low cost reusable launch systems for routine access to space. RLVs typically use combinations of different types of engines used in sequence over the duration of the flight. Also, in order to properly choose which engines are …
