Advances in trajectory optimization for space vehicle control
TL;DR: A detailed overview of recent advances, successes, and promising directions for optimization-based space vehicle control can be found in this paper, where the primary focus is on the last ten years, which have seen a veritable rise in the number of applications using three core technologies: lossless convexification, sequential convex programming, and model predictive control.

Saturn launch vehicle's navigation guidance, and control system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the navigation, guidance and control system of Saturn launch vehicles with respect to systems engineering; operational requirements and design aspects determine the synthesis and the implementation of the system, which must fulfill extreme reliability demands.
Dissertation
Robust and adaptive TVC control design approaches for the VEGA launcher
TL;DR: It is shown that these robust control approaches can provide a direct trade-off between robustness versus performance, reduce tuning effort across launch missions and has the capability to simultaneously handle multiple performance requirements and also to explicitly include system uncertainties in the design.

Application of redundancy in the Saturn 5 guidance and control system
F. B. Moore,J. B. White +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the benefits of redundancy in the context of the Saturn launch vehicle's guidance and control system and compare the theoretical gain in reliability resulting from redundancy compared to a simplex system.
Application of an iterative guidance mode to a lunar landing
TL;DR: Optimization of space-vehicle trajectories by use of iterative guidance mode that minimizes midflight recalculation time for new optimum trajectories is discussed in this article.
