This article, continuation of previous works,5,3 presents the applications of geometric optimal control theory to the analysis of the Earth re-entry problem for a space shuttle where the control is the angle of bank, the cost is the total amount of thermal flux, and the system is subject to state constraints on the thermal flux, the normal acceleration and the dynamic pressure. Our analysis is based on the evaluation of the reachable set using the maximum principle and direct computations with the boundary conditions according to the CNES research project. The optimal solution is approximated by a concatenation of bang and boundary arcs, and is numerically computed with a multiple-shooting method.

The time-optimal control of a system of rigid bodies connected in series by single-degree-of-freedom joints is studied. The dynamical equations of the system are highly nonlinear, and a closed-form representation of the minimum-time feedback control is not possible. However, a suboptimal feedback control, which provides a close approximation to the optimal control, is developed. The suboptimal control is expressed in terms of switching curves for each of the system controls. These curves are obtained from the linearized equations of motion for the system. Approximations are made for the effects of gravity loads and angular velocity terms in the nonlinear equations of motion. Digital simulation is used to obtain a comparison of response times of the optimal and suboptimal controls. The speed of response of the suboptimal control is found to compare quite favorably with the response speed of the optimal control.
