Review of space vehicle control and guidance methods at atmosphere reentry

A. S. Samotokhin


Abstract: Review of control methods for statically stable reentry vehicles with low lift-to-drag ratio at returning from the Moon is presented. We are considering algorithms that have been used in Soviet and American Moon programs, as well as advanced algorithms that now are developed. General trends of advanced domestic and foreign methods are determined.

Keywords: review, terminal control, reentry at return from the Moon, skip-up trajectory.
