Space Shuttle Reentry Trajectory

Computes a 33 minutes 28 seconds reentry trajectory for the Space Shuttle in under ~7 seconds.

The final trajectory is an approximation and only down to the second. For each 1 second of the trajectory, the result gives the full state of the vehicle and the controls to be commanded to the shuttle.

For more details check this video on YouTube. For interactive plots of the results check my blog post.
