National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is currently building the Space Launch System (SLS) Block-1 launch vehicle, to be used as the crewed heavy-lift vehicle for the Artemis series of missions. The SLS Block-1 guidance subsystem utilizes a nonlinear algorithm derived from Shuttle heritage for limiting the vehicle’s induced maximum axial acceleration during ascent flight, known as g-limiting. Even though g-limiting has demonstrated stability and robustness through several design analysis cycles and the extensive Shuttle flight history, there are no available documents that demonstrate that this algorithm has been proven stable through conventional controls stability analysis. This paper highlights the non-linear nature of g-limit, presents an alternative methodology to employ a linear version of this algorithm, performs assessment of selected linear gains using classical stability analysis and, conducts a comparison of both approaches through Six Degrees-of-Freedom (6-DOF) Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.
