Quality testing algorithms for the manual reentry guidance of the Soyuz-TMA spacecraft using a dynamic bench

Abstract

The problem of developing the third level of the control system for a dynamic bench based on a CF-18 centrifuge is considered. The maximin testing procedure is used to check the stabilization accuracy of controlled objects. The first stage of this procedure is implemented by reducing the original dynamic game to a matrix game of large scale. When a saddle point does not exist, the problem is solved with the use of a mixed matrix game expansion by reducing it to a linear programming problem. An example of constructing the test perturbations used at the second stage of the maximin testing procedure is discussed.
