DOI: 10.2514/1.g008685
Abstract: Existing aerocapture predictor–corrector guidance algorithms apply significant simplifications to the problem in order to reduce the computational complexity involved in the control plan correction phase. Such simplifications include using a reduced set of equations of… read more here.
