Summary:

Using the return-to-earth portion of an interplanetary mission as an example, this paper describes the series of maneuvers required to land a manned space vehicle at a predesignated airfield on the earth. The objectives of the maneuvers, the types of control and stabilization systems which can be used in each external environment, and the sources of moments which disturb the orientation of the vehicle are discussed. Results of analog computer simulation studies conducted at the U.A.C. Research Laboratories are included to illustrate some of the stability and control problems which result from rapid changes in the external environment of the vehicle
