Optimal Midcourse Guidance Algorithm for Exoatmospheric Interception Using Analytical Gradients

This paper is aimed at providing a semianalytical method to solve the optimal exoatmospheric interception problem with the minimum fuel consumption. A nonlinear programming (NLP) problem with the minimum velocity increment, which involves Lambert’s problem with unspecified time-of-flight, is firstly...
