Abstract

This paper proposes an optimization-based procedure to determine the parameters of the Apollo guidance law for Korean lunar lander mission. A lunar landing mission is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem to minimize the fuel consumption and the reference trajectory for the lander is obtained by solving the problem in the pre-flight phase. Some parameters of the Apollo guidance, which are coefficients of the polynomial used to define the guidance command, are selected based on the reference trajectory obtained in the pre-flight phase. A case study for the landing guidance of Korean lunar lander mission using the proposed procedure is conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness.

본 논문에서는 한국형 달 착륙 임무를 위한 아폴로 유도 법칙의 파라미터 선정을 위한 최적화 기반의 절차를 제안하였다. 달 착륙 문제를 연료 소모량을 최소화하기 위한 궤적 최적화 문제로 공식화하였으며 비행 이전 단계에서 본 문제를 풀어 착륙선의 기준 궤적을 획득할 수 있다. 아폴로 유도의 파라미터들은 유도 명령을 정의하기 위해 사용되는 다항식의 계수들이며, 비행 이전 단계에서 구해진 기준 궤적을 기반으로 선정된다. 제안된 절차의 효과를 입증하기 위해, 본 절차를 사용한 한국형 달 착륙 임무의 착륙 유도 사례연구를 수행하였다.
