Abstract

An explicit entry guidance law has been developed using inverse dynamics approach. The inverse dynamics problem is solved through Bezier curve approximation of the vehicle trajectory. Most important and novel feature of the developed guidance law is its ability to satisfy the terminal angular and velocity constraints besides position constraints. Through shape preserving `Bezier parameters' the guidance law has the ability to control terminal velocity. For entry glide flight the guidance law incorporates limits on acceleration and attack angle which are converted from path constraints. The results demonstrate remarkably good efficiency in meeting terminal constraints.
