The moon lander optimal control problem revisited
We revisit the control problem for a spacecraft to land on the moon surface at rest with minimal fuel consumption. We show that a detailed analysis in the related 3D phase space uncovers the existence of infinitely many safe landing curves, contrary to several former 2D descriptions that implicitly...
