%X The objective of this paper is to establish a desired trajectory for the Alflex reentry vehicle using stepwise and linear control functions, so that the oscillations of the pitch, roll and yaw rates are minimized. For the variations of the attack angle and pitch angle we find control functions for which the computed results are in a good agreement with those recorded experimentally.
