Cross-product Control

Author: Tianjiang Shuo

Definition

Guidance control technique that forces the velocity-to-be-gained vector to become collinear with its own time derivative, using the cross-product signal as the autopilot rate signal to drive velocity-to-be-gained to zero.

Application Value

This concept is fundamental to cislunar orbital mechanics and mission analysis, providing essential theoretical support for trajectory design and operational planning.
