Abstract
Motivated by the emerging needs of the next generation of reusable launch vehicles (RLV), a pseudospectral (PS) feedback method is designed and applied to guide an
RLV across multiple phases of an entry trajectory. That is, by generating real-time, open-loop, optimal controls, it is shown that a single PS-feedback law successfully
guides an X-33-type vehicle in the presence of large disturbances, g-load and heating-rate constraints. The notion of a Caratheodory-��___ solution is used to design, develop and implement the guidance algorithm.
