trajectory angle
1Trajectory — is the path a moving object follows through space. The object might be a projectile or a satellite, for example. It thus includes the meaning of orbit the path of a planet, an asteroid or a comet as it travels around a central mass. A trajectory… …
2Trajectory optimization — is the process of designing a trajectory that minimizes or maximizes some measure of performance. While not exactly the same, the goal of solving a trajectory optimization problem is essentially the same as solving an optimal control problem. The …
