Introduction
This book focuses on the advanced controller designs of flight vehicle maneuver and
operation. Chapters explain advanced control mechanisms and algorithms for different
controllers required in a flight vehicle system. The book topics such as
air-disturbance fixed time controllers, algorithms for orbit and attitude
computation, adaptive control modes, altitude stabilization, nonlinear vibration
control, partial space elevator configuration, controls for formation flying and
satellite cluster, respectively.
Key Features
- Includes an investigation of high-precision and high-stability control problems of
flight vehicles
- Multiple complex disturbances are considered to improve robust performance and
control accuracy
- Covers a variety of single spacecraft and distributed space systems (including
hypersonic vehicles, flexible aircraft, rigid aircraft, and satellites)
This book will be helpful to aerospace scientists and engineers who are interested in
working on the development of flight vehicle maneuver and operation. Researchers
studying control science and engineering, and advanced undergraduate and graduate
students and professionals involved in the flight vehicle control field will also
benefit from the information given in this book.
Audience
