Abort Trajectory Optimization Using an hp-Adaptive Pseudospectral Method
Mission abort scenarios of RLV due to an engine failure which leads to engine cut-off are considered. The abort trajectory optimization problem is treated as a maximum range problem for abort capability analysis. An hp-adaptive pseudospectral method be employed to solve this problem because of its accuracy and computational efficiency. Fuel jettisoning rate is treated as a optimization parameter. Numerical results show the optimal fuel jettison rate is its maximum value and the maximum longitudinal range achievable with fuel jettisoning is increased by 7.62% when compared to the case without fuel jettisoning.
