A novel control scheme for a thrust vector system with an electromechanical actuator is proposed. The proposed method merges the idea exploited in sliding mode control (SMC) with proportion- ...

In this work, an efficient multistage constant-vector thrust control algorithm is proposed for spacecraft to achieve finite-thrust Lambert transfer considering J2 perturbation. In contrast to most ...

NASA followed last week's low-key engine test with the test-firing of a solid-fueled booster at Northrop Grumman's rocket ...

The Thrust Vectoring Evaluation Kit is now available for domestic researchers, universities, and OEMs seeking to advance their understanding of the capabilities enabled by thrust vectoring.

ABSTRACT: This research paper presents a numerical study on the flow characteristics and performance of a baffled shock two-dimensional vector nozzle. The baffled shock vector nozzle is a type of ...
