Abstract

An explicit guidance algorithm for multi-constrained terminal descent phase of lunar soft landing is presented in this paper. A minimum jerk guidance is designed and extended for this purpose to achieve the terminal control and state constraints. The closed form jerk expression, obtained using the minimum jerk guidance is analyzed to obtain an explicit expression for acceleration command, which is the physical control variable for the guidance loop. The guidance formulation ensures the minimum rate of change of acceleration and vertical touchdown of the spacecraft towards a designated landing site with high terminal accuracy. The design features of the proposed guidance law are demonstrated using simulation results. © 2017, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. All rights reserved.
