What will I learn?

This course equips you with skills to model one-dimensional vertical rocket dynamics, set practical constraints, and examine phase-space patterns for secure and fuel-saving landings. You will use Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle, construct Hamiltonians, manage costates, solve boundary value problems via indirect shooting and direct transcription methods, and explore real-world applications and implementation tips.

Elevify advantages
