Variable Lift Control of a Space Vehicle During the Re-Entry into Martian Atmosphere

Re-entry trajectory design problem of a space capsule into the Martian atmosphere is investigated within the context of modern control theory. The optimal control law which minimizes the heat generated on the surface of the capsule is obtained analytically. This in turn allows the capsule to make a...
