Excellent.

[@nafianuma4773]

Very nice piece of work

[@kvasios]

Thanks! That's great. You just made me buy Bett's book 😆

[@HenriqueFerrolho]

Enjoy the read! It is worth it. :)

Cool video bro! Reentry is serious!

[@ritaferrolho5670]

Dope stuff bro!

[@Rajendra_Hatkar]

broh can u explain about Determination of Minimum Descent Distance for Powered Landing of Reentry Vehicle in the Earth Atmosphere??

[@HenriqueFerrolho]

What are you looking for specifically?

[@Rajendra_Hatkar]

Iam looking for powered landing process?? Theoretical explanation??

[@HenriqueFerrolho]

Asking for a theoretical explanation of powered landings is a very general request. I am afraid I can't help you if you don't have any concrete questions to ask.

Hello! I am interested in your video, since I myself am a student in the same specialty, but only in Russia and I am trying to simulate the trajectory of the descent of the Russian shuttle (Buran). In fact, our approaches to solving optimization problems are quite different. For example, when solving optimal control problems, we often use the maximum principle of Lev Semenovich Pontryagin as the basis for their solution, the meaning of which is that optimal control delivers the maximum of the Hamilton function. I won't go too deep into theory (I hope you have literature on the principle of maximum). You, as I understand it, are based on dynamic programming. Thank you for this interesting video.

Ehhh, it says x you have in the plot funtions isn't defined and the code cannot run.

[@HenriqueFerrolho]

Can you provide me with more information on how you are trying to run things and what is not working?

[@jimsagubigula7337]

@@HenriqueFerrolho I copy pasted your code on CoCalc using a Julia compiler and when I try to run it, it comes up with an error because it doesn't understand 'x' in the plotting functions.

Can python implement this algorithm?

[@HenriqueFerrolho]

It is possible to implement something similar using Python, but the methods and tools available will be different from the ones shown in the video (which use Julia).
