Abstract
During the terminal atmospheric flight phase, the Shuttle orbiter is an unpowered glide vehicle. The guidance and flight control system during this phase must control energy, flight path, and heading to align the orbiter with the runway at an appropriate altitude and speed for an unpowered landing. The paper presents a technical description of the guidance and control system used for the terminal flight phase, which includes (1) a discussion of functional requirements. (2) definition of the automatic guidance and control system, (3) definition of the displays for pilot monitoring and control, and (4) a discussion of the dynamic performance of the system.
