Abstract :
The “nested” structure of the control system for the X33 vehicle in launch mode is developed. The outer loop (guidance) and the inner loop (rates) continuous sliding mode controllers are designed. Simulations of the 3-DOF model of the X33 launch vehicle showed an accurate, robust, de-coupled tracking performance
