Terminal Control of Center of Mass Motion and Propellant Consumption in Liquid-Propellant Rocket Carriers

Abstract

We dedicate this work to the memory of Academician B.N. Petrov. It develops the principles of terminal control of rocket carriers formulated by him. Next-generation rocket carriers implement the principle of interconnected, coordinated terminal control of the center of mass motion and propellant consumption. In this article we consider the problem of synthesizing such control and the main principles of its implementation.
