Fuel-optimal Boost-Back Guidance via Successive Convexification with a Terminal Constraint for ReusableLaunch Vehicles
This paper proposes a fuel-optimal boost-back guidance algorithm for reusable launch vehicles using successive convexification (SCvx). The guidance problem is formulated as a free-final-time optimal control problem with a terminal instantaneous impact point (IIP) constraint. This constraint depends only on the burnout...
