A computer program for simulating optimized space shuttle trajectories is presented. The program considers the ascent, return, and synergetic maneuvers of lifting boosters and spacecraft. Other constraints on optimum trajectory such as maximum heating, acceleration, angle of attack, and excluded or included overflight or impact regions are examined. Mathematical models are included to support the theoretical aspects of the discussion.
