A MATLAB control system for landing a simulated rocket. Created by Mihir Laud for Purdue University ENGR 133 Fall 2020 final project. Licensed under MIT License.
auto-rocket simulates a rudimentary rocket as a particle in three dimensions. The GUI allows users to create a rocket with an initial position and velocity and to simulate the rocket's powered descent. After the simulation is complete, the motion of the rocket will be plotted on a 3D graph alongside graphs of its altitude, vertical velocity, and vertical acceleration over time.
- User-defined initial position and velocity
- Kinematics-based control system in all dimensions
- Gravity turn control system
- GFOLD
- Pinpoint landing
- Greater user control over variables (gravity, air resistance, etc.)
- Real-time motion vs time graphing
- Orientation graphs
