Abstract After the completion of the launch mission, the soft landing recovery and reuse of the carrier rocket’s first-stage can effectively control the landing area to ensure safety and significantly reduce the cost of space launch transportation. The trajectory optimization of the whole process from the first section to the landing site is significant to fuel saving. In the entire process, the first-stage needs to go through three startup ignitions of course adjustment, power deceleration, and vertical landing. For this segmented fuel optimization problem, optimizing the thrust size and direction during three sections and the switching time between each section is necessary. Optimizing the vertical landing section is essential to ensure the accuracy of landing position and speed, which greatly complicates the whole process’s optimization. Therefore, the optimization process of the vertical landing is substituted by a neural network predictor, which is used to obtain the mapping relationship between the initial state of the vertical landing section and the fuel consumption of the segment. Besides, the thrust profiles of the first two startup sections are reasonably handled based on physical cognition. The combination of convex optimization and neural network successfully converted the multi-stage optimal control problem into a parameter optimization problem and solved it by a genetic algorithm. Optimization results were compared with the conventional method, which indicated its superiority.
