Abstract

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 methods 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 optimal end-to-end trajectory.
