Autonomous Trajectory Planning and Guidance Control for Launch Vehicles
his book presents a number of advanced autonomous dynamic trajectory optimal
control technologies for launch vehicles. Improving flight autonomy has gained
broad-ranging concerns, so as to responsively and autonomously handle the unexpected events or failures. It was reported that the enhanced Proton M launch system
adopted artificial intelligence elements to improve the in-flight fail-safe performance
level,1 while many NASA scientists and engineers prefer to discuss machine learning
and autonomy rather than artificial intelligence.2 In China, the China Academy
of Launch Vehicle Technology has drafted a roadmap of smart rockets, and in
Europe, the Future Launchers Preparatory Program is currently investigating onboard real-time trajectory guidance optimization technologies for future reusable
launchers.3
