Newton iterative design approach for manned spacecraft ascent trajectory
Abstract
In this paper, the engineering design approach of a manned spacecraft ascent trajectory is described. The mathematical model of the control law is selected, based on ascent flight property and flight dynamics principle. All the undetermined parameters are determined by using the Newton iterative method based on the ascent trajectory intermediate and terminal constraint conditions. Its flow chart is given and its correctness is proved by analog computation.
