Integrated Optimization of Ascent Trajectory and SRM Design of Multistage Launch Vehicles

Lorenzo Federici,
Alessandro Zavoli,
Guido Colasurdo
et al.

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for the concurrent first-stage preliminary design and ascent trajectory optimization, with application to a Vega-derived Light Launch Vehicle. The reuse as first stage of an existing upper-stage (Zefiro 40) requires a propellant grain geometry redesign, in order to account for the mutated operating conditions. An optimization code based on the parallel running of several Differential Evolution algorithms is used to find the optimal internal pressure law during Z40 operation, t… Show more

“…An additional restriction, aimed to address the heating damage on the structure, is also included, with a limit of 40 MW/m 2 [35]. The use of these variables to take into account the structural characteristics is a common recurrence in the assessment of trajectories [5,10,35,36,38]. For the optimization, a total of 124 total optimization variables (half relative to the angle of attack α and the rest relative to the heading angle β) are considered.…”
