This research is motivated by a resurgence in the area of maneuverable aerospace vehicles spurred by shifting geopolitical landscapes and renewed interest in space exploration. Both thrust-free and thrust-enabled vehicles are modelled to overcome reachability constraints and enable understanding of an oscillation phenomenon that was observed in simulations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Tracking Control of Nonlinear Maneuverable Re-entry Vehicles using a Fluid-flow Newton-Raphson Controller "}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2023-07-11 20:05:03","changed_gmt":"2023-07-11 20:05:03","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-07-17T11:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-07-17T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-07-17T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-07-17 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-07-17 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-07-17 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Room 307, Lyman Hall","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434381","name":"ECE Ph.D. Dissertation Defenses"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"192484","name":"PhD Defense, graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
