AAE 450 Spring 2008 Considered Control Methods Thrust Vectoring –Gimbaled Thrust Requires structural system and control system to direct engine –LITVC: Liquid Injection Thrust Vector Control Equipment requirement for injection system, and injection liquid storage Spin Stabilization Upper stage stabilization done via spin to damp out the perturbing forces Control Surfaces –Thrust: Jet Vanes, Jetavors –Aerodynamic: Fins Any control surface also represents needed structural analysis Dynamics And Controls

AAE 450 Spring 2008 Dynamics and Controls Future Work Pick a control method Develop method and control law for rigid body system Basic Correction by Linear Thrust Profile 1-d correction to horizontal point mass location based on sample rate. 30 Hz yields 1 sec correction time. for initial error of ~2.5 meters. Max Thrust Vectoring of 10º Figure 1.1: Correction Time as a function of Sample Rate. Created by Mike Walker
