What will I learn?

Gain expertise in modelling one-dimensional vertical rocket dynamics, setting practical 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 methods, and explore real-world applications with implementation tips.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Develop 1D rocket models by deriving, scaling, and constraining vertical dynamics for effective control.
  • Create fuel-optimal landing solutions by formulating and rapidly solving Pontryagin-inspired control challenges.
  • Examine bang-bang control mechanisms by calculating switch timings and phase-space paths.
  • Implement numerical optimal control methods including shooting, collocation, and mesh refinement practically.
  • Convert theoretical concepts into hardware applications managing delays, noise, limits, and safety margins.
