An unprecedented challenge of the new generation launch vehicle control is its four parallel strap-on engines are oscillateable by the servomechanism. It increases the manoeuvrability of the vehicle and the control complexity simultaneously. The chapter investigates actuator failure compensation for new generation launch vehicle control. A control reconfiguration scheme of fault-tolerant control is developed to enhance the reliability of launch vehicle attitude control systems and prevent the control invalidation caused by the deadlock of the oscillating actuator, based on the congruity of the composite moment before and after the failure happens. This reconfiguration scheme is capable of utilizing the remaining control authority to achieve the desired performance in the presence of deadlock at certain detectable angle occurring in one or several actuators at unknown time instants.
