What will I learn?

Gain skills in modelling one-dimensional vertical rocket dynamics, setting real-world constraints, and examining phase-space patterns for secure and fuel-saving landings. Employ Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle, construct Hamiltonians, manage costates, solve boundary value problems via indirect shooting and direct transcription, and explore practical adaptations for actual systems.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Build 1D rocket models by deriving, scaling, and constraining vertical dynamics for effective control.
  • Design fuel-optimal landings by formulating and solving Pontryagin-based control problems efficiently.
  • Analyze bang-bang controls by calculating switching times and phase-space trajectories accurately.
  • Apply numerical optimal control using shooting, collocation, and mesh refinement in real practice.
  • Translate theory to hardware by managing delays, noise, limits, and safety envelopes effectively.

What our students say

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