When these expressions are substituted into the,control law, the result may<br />

be interpreted as a sampled data feedback law where the last measurement<br />

occurred at to. Thus,<br />

Another result may be obtained by imagining that the position <strong>and</strong> velocity<br />

are continuously sensed <strong>and</strong> immediately used to correct the thrust. In this<br />

event, a A09 go, <strong>and</strong> to become ,& , g , <strong>and</strong> t <strong>and</strong> a continuous<br />

feedback <strong>guidance</strong> law is obtained, which is<br />

To express this la-~r in terms of uR (toyCard the target) <strong>and</strong> u1 (normal to the<br />

line of sight), note that 4 = - R&, L/ = -RI, - R E. Next adopting the<br />

notation of expressing a small displacement from the nominal path as a small<br />

angle,<br />
