The application of optimal control technology to the design of a controller for the space shuttle descent was studied using weighting matrices adjusted through iteration to reduce response peaks, which are defined as mean magnitude plus sigma values. The synthesis techniques, and optimal controller design are discussed along with simplified controller design. Quantitative characteristics of the optimal controller, effects of variation of sample rate, and simplified controller data are included.
