Abstract: Discontinuous ignition boost for powered hypersonic vehicle could effectively improve the flexibility and maneuverability of reentry vehicle. To analyze the influences of ignition time and boost time on the reentry trajectory, the modified Gaussian pseudo-spectral method was used to optimize the reentry trajectory with different ignition time and boost duration. When the engine is off, the Gauss pseudospectral method is used to generate the optimal reentry trajectory that meets multi-constraints. After the engine is ignited, the reentry trajectory is calculated and generated by numerical integration according to the given control input. Additional constraint conditions are added to ensure the continuity of vehicle states between each pair of phases. Four typical moments (A, B, C, D) in the reentry process were selected to perform the first and second ignitions of the engine, and the simulations were designed with the target of maximum lateral range. The results show that the improved Gauss pseudospectral method could effectively solve the reentry trajectory optimization for powered hypersonic vehicle with discontinuous ignition. When the total impulse of the engine is given, the ignition timing has a significant effect on the reentry trajectory. Key
