During powered descent of a crewed lunar landing mission, the ability to abort and ascend into a clear pericynthion orbit is critical in case any contingency renders the landing infeasible or excessively risky. In such a case, it is incumbent upon the guidance system to determine autonomously a safe abort trajectory and the associated guidance command. To accomplish this task reliably, a novel two-phase abort guidance strategy is proposed in this paper where a pull-up maneuver redirects the velocity vector to help mitigate any ground collision risk and achieve an appropriate initial ascent condition, followed by a fuel-optimal ascent guidance algorithm to insert the spacecraft into a predefined safe orbit around the moon. Development of the pull-up guidance laws and a description of the fuel-optimal ascent guidance based on the indirect method of optimal control are presented. In-depth investigation is conducted to provide a full understanding of the validity of the abort solutions. The solutions and fuel efficiency of the proposed guidance strategy are independently verified by using a direct method of optimal control. Monte Carlo closed-loop simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of this method throughout the entire powered descent.
