Simulação de controle de trajetória e desaceleração para pouso autônomo de foguetes

Abstract

This study investigates the control of rocket trajectories of the first stage of a satellite launch vehicle with reentry and landing capabilities. Using simulations to study the theory of the PID controller, this study also considers the basic physical concepts involved and then applies control to the flight path in the vertical axis. The study is relevant in the field of control engineering, where precise control of trajectories is crucial for the success of space missions. For this purpose, a model of the Falcon-1 rocket is used using simulations in Simulink and MATLAB. In this study, rocket trajectory control was explored using a PID controller, with a particular focus on the Proportional and Derivative components. It is hoped that this work will serve as a basis or facilitate future research with a replicable simulation, expanding research into the results obtained.
