Thrust Vector Control of an Upper-Stage Rocket with Multiple Propellant Slosh Modes

The thrust vector control problem for an upper-stage rocket with propellant slosh dynamics is considered. The control inputs are defined by the gimbal deflection angle of a main engine and a pitching moment about the center of mass of the spacecraft. The rocket acceleration due to the main engine th...
