Abstract

A comparison between different direct trajectory optimization methods for a Single Stage to Orbit Reusable Launch Vehicle is carried out and presented. Collocation and multiple-shooting approaches are compared in terms of accuracy, scalability, computational costs, and sensitivity to irregularities of models. The ascent trajectory optimization of the FESTIP-FSS5 Reusable Launch Vehicle is considered.
