In this paper, the task of achieving the soft landing of a lunar module such that the fuel consumption and the flight time are minimized is formulated as an optimal control problem. The motion of the lunar module is described in a three dimensional coordinate system. We obtain the form of the optimal closed loop control law, where a feedback gain matrix is involved. It is then shown that this feedback...
