  2. Splines • Splines attempt to optimize trajectory’s steering law • Uses Excel equations to create new trajectory for all three stages • Attempts to smooth the transition between stages • For 1kg case, used linear steering law in upper stages to create a constant change in pitch rate • Performance is very sensitive to changes in spline and control gains Figure by Adam Waite Thanks to D&C group AAE 450 Spring 2008 Dynamics and Control

  3. 1 kg Case (115%) Red – Trajectory Blue - Actual • Results using all average values: • Periapsis: 365 km • Apoapsis: 2,392 km • Eccentricity: 0.131 Future Work • Optimize spline and gains for 5kg case • Run Monte Carlo for all cases Figure by Adam Waite Thanks to D&C group AAE 450 Spring 2008 Dynamics and Control

  4. References • Dynamics and Control group • Trajectory Group • Main D&C code • Everybody else that contributed to design and sizing of rocket AAE 450 Spring 2008 Dynamics and Control

  6. Logic Behind Splines in Excel • First, trajectory’s steering law was plotted using arctangent • Sharp changes in steering law were noted • Those points were eliminated from the plot and a polynomial curve fit was used in its place • These polynomial equations are then input into the main configuration file for the rocket to follow with the times for each spline also being input • The upper stages undergo a scalar adjustment in the positive or negative direction to either increase or decrease the radial velocity • Periapsis is determined and the spline is adjusted accordingly AAE 450 Spring 2008
