Abstract

In this paper a new programming methodology for optimizing rocket trajectories using steepest descent technique is presented. The programming is done in Matlab platform. At first the dynamical equations of rocket is derived and for the proper derivation and analysis of the equations ,Eulers integration method is used. A new programming approach is designed and the equations are optimized using steepest descent technique, assuming certain boundary conditions. The results obtained are verified and it is seen that the optimal trajectory is attained with all objectives satisfied. This project is done at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre(VSSC),a constituent of Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO).
