WITH the advance in onboard computational capability, the class of predictor–corrector entry
guidance algorithms have received increasing attention. Applications considered over the …

PREDICTOR-CORRECTOR entry guidance algorithms have long been used in mission
analyses and simulations for feasibility and trade studies of various entry vehicles and …

A numerical predictor–corrector method for trajectory planning and closed-loop guidance of
low-L= D vehicles during the skip entry phase of a lunar-return mission is presented. The …

This paper investigates gliding guidance of hypersonic vehicles with high lift-to-drag (L/D)
ratios. The application scenarios envisioned are largely those that may be called suborbital …

Simultaneously accounting for all major disciplines during the design of hypersonic vehicles
is challenging due to the computational requirements of high fidelity codes. As a result, a …

This TR is actually a textbook on atmospheric entry for several classes at AFIT. It teaches
from an analytical perspective, with finding closed-form solutions being the preferred …

This research effort develops a program using MATLAB® to solve the equations of motion
for the atmospheric reentry of the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) which is assumed to be in …

The return trajectory optimization of spacecraft is a typical problem on optimal control. The
spacecraft is affected by quality, kinetic energy, aerodynamics, thermal flux, overload and so …

This article improves an enhanced predictor–corrector entry guidance method for
hypersonic flight vehicle. To compensate for the shortcoming that the enhanced predictor …

In this paper we develop a numerical predictor-corrector entry guidance algorithm for
vehicles with medium to higher lifting capability. A major difference between the current …
