valid certificate in your country

What will I learn?

Gain expertise in modelling one-dimensional vertical rocket dynamics, setting realistic constraints, and examining phase-space behaviour to achieve safe and fuel-efficient landings. Implement Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle, construct Hamiltonians, manage costates, solve boundary value problems via indirect shooting and direct transcription methods, and explore practical applications for real-world systems.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Develop 1D rocket models by deriving, scaling, and applying constraints to vertical dynamics.
  • Engineer fuel-optimal landing trajectories using Pontryagin’s principle for rapid problem-solving.
  • Examine bang-bang control structures, calculating switch times and phase-space paths accurately.
  • Implement numerical optimal control methods including shooting, collocation, and mesh refinement.
  • Bridge theory to practical hardware, managing delays, noise, constraints, and safety protocols.
