Abstract

This thesis is committed to the design of the reusable boosted vehicle’s (RBV) control system in the reentry process. By choosing the proper control allocation strategy, six of freedom nonlinear model of RBV was controlled to fly in accordance with expected flight instructions. This paper presented two-grade control allocation scheme: the primary allocation distributed the expected moment to the different actuators; the secondary allocation further assigned the allocated moment to eight separated rudders, in which the exterior point penalty function method was adapted. This new scheme can limit rudders’ deflection angle and deflection velocity, and cost the minimum rudder system energy. Finally, the result shows the entire system combined with the controller and control allocations can precisely meet the control requirements.
