Multi-Scenario Trajectory Optimization for Vertical Takeoff and Vertical Landing Vehicles Using the Gauss Pseudospectral Method

Vertical takeoff and vertical landing (VTVL) vehicles, based on throttling liquid rocket engines, are attracting increasing attention for their validation of guidance and control techniques during landing. However, validation requires the vehicle to fly in a special trajectory with multiple constrai...
