This paper describes one of the entry guidance concepts that is currently being tested as part of Marshall Space Flight Center's Advance Guidance and Control Project. The algorithm is of the reference profile tracking type. The reference profile consists of the reference states, range-to-go, altitude, and flight path angle, and reference controls, bank angle and angle of attack, versus energy. A linear control law using state feedback is used with energy-scheduled gains. The gains are obtained offline using Matlab's steady state linear quadratic regulator function. Lateral trajectory control is effected by performing periodic bank sign reversals based on a heading error corridor. A description and results of the AG&C test cases on which it has been tested are given. Although it is not anticipated that the algorithm will be quite as robust as algorithms with onboard trajectory re-generation capability, the results nevertheless show it to be very robust with respect to varying initial conditions and works satisfactorily even for entries from widely different orbits than that of the reference profile. Moreover, the commanded bank and angle of attack histories are very smooth, making it easier for the attitude control system to implement the guidance commands. Finally, results indicate that the guidance gains are more or less trajectory-independent which is a potentially useful property.
