AISI 302 stainless steel is used for making compression springs for launch vehicle programmes. One such AISI 302 stainless steel compression spring used in flush and purge valve of liquid engine of a satellite launch vehicle failed during testing. The failure was at the second round of spring and it failed in a slanted type fracture. Detailed metallurgical analysis indicated that the failure was due to fatigue.

This paper presents the attitude control design of satellite launch vehicle based on the direct adaptive generalized dynamic inversion approach. The proposed adaptive generalized dynamic inversion approach encompasses the equivalent and the adaptive control elements. The equivalent (continuous) control part of adaptive generalized dynamic inversion is based on the conventional generalized dynamic inversion approach that comprises two noninterfering control actions, i.e. the particular part and the auxiliary part. In the particular part, dynamical constraint is prescribed in the form of time differential equation, which is evaluated along the vehicle attitude trajectories that encapsulates the control objectives and is inverted by utilizing Moore Penrose Generalized Inverse (MPGI). The singularity problem is solved by augmenting a dynamic scaling factor in the involved MPGI. In the auxiliary part, the null control vector is designed using the proportionality gain matrix, constructed by employing the Lyapunov function that guarantees global closed-loop asymptotic stability of the angular body rate dynamics. The adaptive (discontinuous) control part of adaptive generalized dynamic inversion is based on the sliding mode control with adaptive modulation gain, that provides robustness against tracking performance deterioration due to generalized scaling, system nonlinearities, and uncertainties, such that semi-global practically stable attitude tracking is guaranteed. External guidance loop based on the trajectory following method is designed, which reshapes the predefined pitch and yaw attitude profiles based on the respective normal and lateral positional errors, for acquiring the desired orbital parameters such as height, injection angle, orbital velocity, etc. To analyze the ascent flight trajectory, a detailed six-degrees-of-freedom simulator of a four-stage satellite launch vehicle is developed. The intensive numerical simulations are performed, which demonstrate the stability, robustness and the tracking capability of the proposed control and guidance methods in the presence of parametric uncertainties and external disturbances.
