Abstract

A non-dimensional optimization model was established for endo atmospheric hypersonic vehicles, and an enhanced adjoint method for solving the two-point boundary value problem was proposed with its algorithm convergence proved. The method was applied to the solution trajectory optimization problems in the ascent phase when a solid rocket powered hypersonic spacecraft flies in the dense atmosphere. With the bending moment constraints, a set of smooth control variables were obtained indirectly. The simulation results were presented, demonstrating rapidity, effectiveness and reliability of this method.
