Ascent Manager EPIC rewrite
lamont-granquist opened this issue ยท 1 comments
The Shuttle PEG rewrite is here:
That had issues which make it not generally viable for public consumption.
A new version of that guidance is being rewritten which will do more exact trajectory calculations without the clipping issues of PEG, that will solve a lot of problem. The feature set it will ultimately target includes:
- timed launches to only LAN of target / user-entered LAN
- launches to selected keplerian coordinates, with the unselected ones being optimized.
- launch to rendezvous that works without a prelaunch
- suborbital launches to a desired altitude (and keplerian targets like inc) with the final velocity being maximized after the stage burns out
- direct ascent to a moon
- optimized coasts
- direct ascent to interplanetary (wishlist)
- node executor rewrite using that guidance under the covers
- landing guidance rewrite using that guidance under the covers (#1052)
gah, i can't believe i opened two identical epic issues, need more coffee, #1061 mostly has more detail now.
