Computer program constructs a sequence of optimal solutions to dynamically-approximate linear equations. Specification of the number and type of subarcs in the optimal solution allows simultaneous satisfaction of all switching criteria.
Study program written in FORTRAN 4 developes an oribital rendezvous guidance scheme for large, constant thrust launch vehicles. It concentrates on /1/ an investigation of the direct extension of the present Saturn Iterative Guidance Mode /IGM/ scheme and /2/ a scheme formulated in a reference frame moving with the target satellite.
