Problem statement

Moon Lander Problem

All Examples
The moon lander optimal control problem is stated as follows. Minimize the cost functional \[J=\int_0^{t_f} u(t)dt\] subject to the dynamic constraints \[\begin{array}{lcl}\dot{h}(t) & = & v(t), \\ \dot{v}(t) & = & -g + u(t)\end{array}\] and the boundary conditions \[\begin{array}{lclclcl}h(0) & = & h_0 & , & h(t_f) & = & 0, \\ v(0) & = & v_0 &, & v(t_f) & = & 0. \end{array}\] The solution to the moon lander optimal control problem using GPOPS-II is shown in the figures below.
