An onboard deorbit target line computation technique
Abstract
The design concept and results of a target line generator software package, which was developed to provide the onboard entry interface range, were documented. This generator, which was eventually reduced to one linear equation, was developed to the point that it provides autonomous landing site relocation capability, negligible core storage, and acceptable performance for the cases tested.
