A perturbation guidance algorithm is developed for the constant-altitude portion of the orbital-plane change maneuver, called aerocruise. It is obtained by solving a linear-quadratic regulator problem in terms of the perturbed state and control variables. The regulator problem with hard control-variable constraints is then studied. For the two-control-variable case, the simulation results show that the bounded-control algorithm gives better performance than that obtained using a limiter for the case where control variables exceed the bounds.
