Abstract

See full text

Rocket control is a difficult and unpredictable task in environments with inclement weather. As a result, launch missions are often strictly limited based on weather conditions. The present invention provides a method for controlling a rocket to account for environmental uncertainties and maintain optimal mission performance. First, sensors collect data about the rocket's environment, passing the information to storage in the rocket's database. Second, the rocket's processor manipulates the database with an optimization algorithm producing instructions. Third, the instructions command the rocket's control system for an optimal end-to-end trajectory and to enable the rocket to perform a safe landing.
