Abstract
The design, development and launching of a space vehicle is a highly interdisciplinary activity, with strong interaction between aerodynamics, structures, thermodynamics, flight mechanics, navigation-guidance-control, propulsion, telemetry, range safety etc. Performance, weight and finally cost optimality are most important in these systems. The desired goals are best achieved through formal disciplinary and multi-disciplinary optimization. In the context of the Indian space vehicle design, optimization of trajectories is routinely carried out for all missions. In recent times a number of aerodynamic shape optimization problems are taken up, many of them using high fidelity CFD codes. The need to limit the launch cost drives the increasing use of multi-level and multidisciplinary design optimization. This paper discusses the class of optimization algorithms used and developed along with a few case studies on disciplinary and multi-level optimization in the trajectory design of orbital and interplanetary missions, and emphasizes the emerging trends in the multidisciplinary design optimization of aerospace systems
