Optimization and guidance of flight trajectories for the national aerospace planeThe research on optimal trajectories for the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) performed by the Aero-Astronautics Group of Rice University from June 22, 1989 to December 31, 1990 is summarized. The aerospace plane is assumed to be controlled via the angle of attack and the power setting. The time history of the controls is optimized simultaneously with the switch times from one powerplant to another and the final time. The intent is to arrive at NASP guidance trajectories exhibiting many of the desirable characteristics of NASP optimal trajectories.
