Method of a net operator for the synthesis of a spacecraft descent control system with uncertain initial conditions

Abstract

The problem of the synthesis of spacecraft control during the descending stage in the Earth’s atmosphere is considered. The control target is a given point hit at a certain altitude and the minimization of the maximal value of the load factor. The control is searched for in the form of a nonlinear relationship of space coordinates. The found control is shown to be less susceptible to a variation in the initial angle of the flight path inclination at the entry into the atmosphere than the optimal control, which is a function of time. For the search of the control, a method of genetic programming with a net operator is used.
