Application of multicriteria optimization in the problem of spacecraft motion control during descent in the atmosphere of the planet

The aim of this work is to confirm the high efficiency of the population global optimization algorithm in optimal control problems. The paper considers the solution of the optimal control problem using the population algorithm "Big Bang – Big Crunch". As confirmation of the high efficiency of the population algorithm, the numerical results of solving the problem of spacecraft descent in the atmosphere of Jupiter are presented. Software has been developed to solve the problem. © 2021, Univelt Inc. All rights reserved.
