Abstract
A composite solution consisting of an outer solution, an inner solution, and a common solution is obtained. The outer solution arises from the gravitationally dominant region, whereas the aerodynamically dominant region contributes to the inner solution. The common solution accounts for the overlap between the outer and inner regions. In contrast to previous work, this simplified methodology yields explicit analytical expressions for various compounds of the composite solution without resorting to any type of transcendental equation that can be solved only by numerical methods. The present method is application for obtained autonomous guides and control strategies for a variety of aerospace vehicles
