This example shows how Richard Gran and the other engineers who worked on the Apollo Lunar Module digital autopilot design team could have done it using Simulink®, Stateflow®, Aerospace Blockset™ and Simulink 3D Animation if they had been available in 1961.
Release R2018b
From MATLAB, open Lunar Module model, apollo50_dap3dof, and live script, apollo50_dap3dofsetup.
To interact with the Lunar Module model, vary autopilot settings and Lunar Module initial states in the Commands area. For example, to observe how the digital autopilot design handles increased initial body rates, use the slider components in Configure LM Attitude.
