Abstract

Abstract: This paper investigates the use of structured H∞ control for the aerodynamic descent phase of a reusable rocket. A unified control strategy for attitude and position is proposed and verified. The architecture of the controller, together with the observed performance are discussed. Results are presented for CALLISTO, a reusable rocket demonstrator jointly developed by DLR, JAXA and CNES.
