Theoretical and practical problems in on-board terminal systems design for liquid-propellant carrier rockets

This paper is dedicated to on-board terminal control systems. Specific features of this class of systems are identified and an approach to terminal feedback control synthesis is proposed, being adequate to the nature of terminal problems. Theoretical and practical problems in on-board terminal systems design for liquid-propellant carrier rockets are discussed. The establishment and further development of research in the field of fuel consumption control systems under the supervision of Academician B.N. Petrov for liquid-propellant carrier rockets (from R-7 rocket till modern carrier vehicles) are considered.
