Abstract

The paper deals with a choice of the rational trajectory of motion of a landing module designed for the Moon landing, from the moment of its de-orbiting from the near-lunar orbit up to landing. An integrated conceptual basis is used to develop multistep terminal algorithms for guidance for the three segments of the descent.
