Reachable-Set Constrained Model Predictive Control for Safe Hypersonic Reentry

Published in , 2025

This research combines reachability analysis with MPC to ensure safe atmospheric reentry, even with disturbances. We enforce constraints via various MPC techniques, including tube-based MPC for nonlinear systems, with effectiveness demonstrated through simulations.
