ABSTRACT
The article will research a lander flying into the atmosphere with the flow velocity constraint, i.e. the total load
by means of minimizing the total thermal energy at the end of the landing process. The lander’s distance at the
last moment depends on the variables selected from the total thermal energy minimum. To deal with the problem

taken into account the minimizing of total heat flow

Let lander comes from the initial state (8) in a

In this case,the number of controlledfunctionsat the

Thus, the initialproblem is reduced toa three-

optimal controlis determinedat each point t ofthe
maximum principle(24).
III. Restriction onoverload
Inthe taskdifficulty of determiningthe
geometry ofthe optimal trajectoryis the identification
ofpointscoming off the disabled Nn

Note that the total overload (2) has two components
xn and yn . The first is called a longitudinal
overload, and the second - normal.

the maximum principle).
