Of the many direct numerical methods, the pseudospectral method serves as an effective tool to solve the reentry trajectory optimization for hypersonic vehicles. However, the traditional pseudospectral method is time-consuming due to large number of discretization points. For the purpose of autonomous and adaptive reentry guidance, the research herein presents a multistage trajectory control strategy based on the pseudospectral method, capable of dealing with the unexpected situations in reentry flight. The strategy typically includes two subproblems: the trajectory estimation and trajectory refining. In each processing stage, the proposed method generates a specified range of trajectory with the transition of the flight state. The full glide trajectory consists of several optimal trajectory sequences. The newly focused geographic constraints in actual flight are discussed thereafter. Numerical examples of free-space flight, target transition flight, and threat avoidance flight are used to show the feasible application of multistage pseudospectral method in reentry trajectory optimization.

According to the nonlinear, multivariable and multi-constraint features of the reentry trajectory optimization problem of airbreathing hypersonic vehicles, a suboptimal solution method is developed. The reentry trajectory generation is converted to a nonlinear programming (NLP) problem by using Gauss pseudospectral method (GPM). The state and control variables on Gauss nodes are chosen as parameters to be optimized and the minimum total heat absorption is chosen as the optimal performance index. Then the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method is used to solve the NLP problem. The states of optimized trajectory are compared with the states obtained by the integral of kinetic equations. By simulating on an example of airbreathing hypersonic vehicles, it is demonstrated that the above method is not sensitive to the estimate of motion states and is easier to converge. And the method is effective to solve trajectory optimization problems.

In this paper, a kind of multi-objective trajectory optimization method based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is proposed for free-floating space manipulator. The aim is to optimize the motion path of the space manipulator with joint angle constraints and joint velocity constraints. Firstly, the kinematics and dynamics model are built. Secondly, the 3-5-3 piecewise polynomial is selected as interpolation method for trajectory planning of joint space. Thirdly, three objective functions are established to simultaneously minimize execution time, energy consumption and jerk of the joints. At last, the objective functions are combined with the NSGA-II algorithm to get the Pareto optimal solution set. The effectiveness of the mentioned method is verified by simulations.

This paper deals with the reentry trajectory optimization problem for lunar return with consideration of entry vehicle’s fore-body shape. Three performance objectives are applied in this work: cross range, peak heat flux and total heat load. Aerothermodynamic models are based on modified Newtonian impact theory and semi-empirical correlations for convective and radiative stagnation-point heat transfer. A population based evolutionary algorithm has been executed to optimize the multidisciplinary problem. At last the numerical example showed the Pareto frontiers for spherical segment and sphere cone respectively, one of optimal trajectory designs selected from the Pareto frontiers are showed in this paper. The mission requirements are satisfied through the aerothermodynamic balance.

A new time-domain improved PSO algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of reentry trajectory optimization. The approach uses time-domain basis functions fitting the control variables, solves free final time optimal control directly, and sets parameters by using vehicle's dynamic characteristics. Simulation of a reentry vehicle with no-fly zone constraints is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and veracity of algorithm in reentry trajectory optimization. The final condition error is less than 1%.
