What will I learn?

This Optimal Control Course teaches you to model 1D vertical rocket dynamics, define realistic constraints, and analyse phase-space behaviour for safe, fuel-efficient landings. You apply Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle, build Hamiltonians, and work with costates, then solve boundary value problems using indirect shooting and direct transcription, finishing with practical extensions and implementation insights for real systems.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Build 1D rocket models: derive, scale, and constrain vertical dynamics for control.
  • Design fuel-optimal landings: pose and solve Pontryagin-based control problems fast.
  • Analyse bang-bang controls: compute switching times and phase-space trajectories.
  • Apply numerical optimal control: shooting, collocation, and mesh refinement in practice.
  • Translate theory to hardware: handle delays, noise, limits, and safety envelopes.

What our students say

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of interest without needing to change platforms... I'm grateful for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.
