"The course of Optimal Control and Game Theory in Flight Mechanics aims at providing sophisticate theoretical and \r\nnumerical tools for the design of advanced aerospace missions and operations. Relevant study cases selected from real \r\nmission scenarios will be simulated using GMAT, Matlab/Simulink software. The course is organized as follows: \r\n(1) Theoretical background and introduction to optimal control: The basic concepts of astrodynamics and flight \r\nmechanics are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the mathematical and technical tools which will be used during the \r\nfollowing classes. \r\n(2) Optimal rocket trajectories and control: The problem of optimal control is introduced considering applications on \r\nrocket moving in the atmosphere. The module covers: optimal solutions to the problem of orbit injection (with \r\nimpulsive and continuous thrust, staging and constrained performance of the actuators), optimal pitch control, \r\noptimal staging and sub-optimal guidance suitable for real-time implementation. Several guidance laws are \r\ncompared together with numerical methods to solve the optimization problem. Exact and numerical solutions are \r\ndiscussed, providing the student the knowledge to apply the most appropriate one depending on the operative \r\nscenario under investigation. \r\n(3) Optimal orbital maneuvers: The problem of orbital transfer in the presence of perturbations and in the multi-body \r\nenvironment is studied. The characterization of low-energy trajectories existing in such a dynamical framework is \r\npresented and optimal guidance strategies for low-thrust transit and ballistic captures are developed. At the end of \r\nthis block, the students will manage advanced tools for designing modern low-energy / low-thrust missions. \r\n(4) Dynamic game theory in flight mechanics: Dynamic game theory is introduced to investigate the motion of two \r\nnoncooperative space vehicles. A variety of scenarios, including operations between two spacecraft in proximity \r\n(space) and missile interception (atmosphere), are modeled as zero-sum dynamic games. Numerical solutions for the \r\nmentioned scenario are discussed, introducing the students to the problem of optimization in multi-spacecraft \r\nenvironment. \r\nRelevant study cases selected from real mission scenarios will be simulated using GMAT, Matlab/Simulink software." . .

"The learning objective of the Special Master of Aerospace Engineering is training experts that can be employed in advanced research and development centers in aerospace engineering.\n\nAn important aspect of the program consists in giving students a system-oriented approach to aerospace engineering. The capability of having a system-oriented and global vision of a space mission is not common in the industry because complexity of each subsystem pushes engineers to focus on single aspects. The design of the general architecture is assigned to the system engineer who is a long-experienced engineer that is able to have a global understanding of the project due to their experience acquired in various subsystems. System engineers are increasingly more difficult to find due to discontinuities that occur over time in the development of large space projects.\nMaster programs in aerospace engineering tend to provide students with at most a basic education in one of the areas of aerospace engineering because of the continuous technological advancement. On the other hand, complexity of current space programs asks for professionals capable of having an insight in extremely various technical aspects. Thus, education offered by the Special Master is extremely important in the industry since it trains system engineers in astronautics."@en . . "2"@en . "FALSE" . . "Master"@en . "Thesis" .
