Abstract

The goal of this bachelor's thesis was to compute the optimal lunar descent trajectory for the Beresheet spacecraft and develop a visualization environment for interpreting lunar descents. The optimal descent trajectory was computed using Bocop, an optimal control problem solver, and the environment was implemented in Java, using the LibGDX 3D engine. The optimal descent trajectory was found and it enables soft landing with 29.2 kg (6.8 %) of fuel left. Created environment enables users to see lunar descent trajectories in an intuitive way and to interact with the visualization.
