Abstract
The article considers solving the interrelated problems of wing shape optimization and synthesis of the re-entry trajectory control law for the reusable spacecraft of tourist class. To ensure a high aerodynamic quality of the wing, increase its bearing properties, as well as improve the maneuverability and controllability of the spacecraft as a whole, the wing shape has been optimized for sub- and supersonic flight modes. The problem of minimizing the wing area is solved for subsonic flight speed while ensuring the level of lift sufficient for landing, with the introduction of restrictions on the minimum wing sweep angle. For supersonic flight speed, maximization of the aerodynamic quality of the wing is used as an objective function. The length and taper of the wing, leading-edge sweep angle, the size of the root and tip chords, and the position of the wing relative to the fuselage were chosen as variables. For the wing shape selected on the basis of the parametric analysis, the calculation of the dependences of the spacecraft aerodynamic coefficients on the Mach number, used for selecting a rational program for the descent control in the atmosphere, was carried out. The choice of a rational control program is made with restrictions on the level of overloads, kinetic pressure and maximum heat flux.
