Abstract

Mission abort scenarios of the orbital stage of a two-stage space transportation system due to an engine failure are considered. The gliding flight which the orbital stage performs to reach an emergency landing site is treated as a maximum range problem for longitudinal and lateral directions. Thus, the reachable area can be determined. With the use of the orbital maneuvering system, the range can be significantly increased.
