Review on guidance and control of aerospace vehicles: recent progress and prospect

This paper expounds on the development status and relevant works of control and guidance methods of the aerospace vehicle in recent years. The control difficulties and the solutions in the related results are introduced briefly. Moreover, the guidance methods are then expounded in detail according to the flight phases of the whole flight mission. Guidance methods are usually included in each phase, and the corresponding trajectory design theories are also introduced where necessary. In addition, the potential future development direction prospects. Based on the above, a brief conclusion is then made as a summary. © Shanghai Jiao Tong University 2024.
