内容記述 | A study has been conducted of the staging maneuver for a two-stage, vertical-takeoff, launch vehicle and the subsequent glideback of the booster to a launch site runway. The booster and orbiter are both winged, fully reusable, and have liquid rocket main propulsion. for the staging maneuver, which nominally occurs at Mach 3, a flight control system and separation technique were devised which produced successful separations over a wide range of staging angles of attack. A guidance algorithm was developed for the unpowered glide-back of the booster from the completion of the staging maneuver to touchdown on a runway in the vicinity of the launch site. Using this guidance technique, the booster successfully touched down on the runway while being subjected to a wide range of seasonal and perturbed atmospheric conditions with and without wids as well as errors in staging state conditions and errors in predicted aerodynamics. |
