Aero-gravity assist is a spacecraft maneuver than can enable a vehicle to insert into an orbit of one planetary body using the atmosphere and gravity field of a secondary body, reducing the required propellant mass relative to a fully-propulsive orbit insertion. The Fully Numerical Predictor-Corrector Aerocapture Guidance algorithm was modified to work with a direct force control blunt body vehicle, executing an aero-gravity assist at Titan to enter a Saturnian orbit and conduct fly-by at Enceladus. Additionally, a proportional-integral-derivative controller was implemented to command sideslip angles for control of the orbital inclination. Numerical simulation showed the developed guidance scheme was capable of minimizing the energy and inclination error at atmospheric exit, allowing Saturnian moon tour trajectories and Enceladus exploration at a small delta-V cost, on the order of 100 m/s, in the nominal case.
