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

Develop skills

  • Build 1D rocket models by deriving, scaling, and constraining vertical dynamics for control purposes.
  • Design fuel-optimal landings by formulating and swiftly solving Pontryagin-based control challenges.
  • Analyze bang-bang controls through calculating switching times and phase-space paths.
  • Apply numerical optimal control methods like shooting, collocation, and mesh refinement in real practice.
  • Translate theoretical concepts to hardware by managing delays, noise, limits, and safety measures.

What our students say

Your classes are perfect. I got the one-year package and finally have the chance to follow several topics I'm interested in without having to switch platforms... I appreciate everything you do, I've already recommended you to others...
