In this paper, a fuzzy logic guidance algorithm is presented for the ascending phase of satellite launch vehicles in the presence of wind effects. In this algorithm, the midcourse constraints including maximum allowable angle of attack at the maximum dynamic pressure and the product of the dynamic pressure and angle of attack, as well as constraints on the final altitude and flight-path angle are considered. The algorithm uses a Mamdani-type fuzzy controller with centroid defuzzification.Maximizing and minimizing set methods to reduce wind effect, while satisfying the midcourse and final constraints. Simulation results show that the presented algorithm improves the performance of the satellite launch vehicle, satisfying the constraints within the maximum allowable estimation error on wind speed.
