Abstract :
The shooting method is used to solve the suboptimal control problem where the control history is assumed to be piecewise linear. Suboptimal solutions can be obtained without difficulty and can by increasing the number of nodes lead to accurate approximate controls and good starting multipliers for the regular shooting method. Optimal planar launch trajectories are presented for the Advanced Launch System.
