  • Reentry autopilot

    Reentry autopilot – very complex matter. Here I provided a detailed description of it, including explanation of algorithm and C4 diagram.

  • Atmospheric autopilot

    Description and C4 diagram of atmospheric autopilot software for simulated spaceplane.

  • Limits of Lambert problem solver

    Lambert problem solver may look like it’s an “ultimate weapon” for orbital transfer planning. Why this is not true – in this article.

    Porkchop plots and delta-v maps

    Practical example of usage of porkchop plots and delta-v maps for optimizing orbital maneuvers

  • Lambert problem in astrodynamics

    Lambert problem in astrodynamics

    Complex orbital maneuvers requires more advanced solutions than Hohmann transfer. Targeting via solving Lambert problem is one of them.
