A new approach based on analytical method is proposed for re-entry vehicle trajectory planning and guidance. Based on the inherent common of path constraints, an analytic trajectory design method is developed. Dynamic inverse guidance law is used to tracking the trajectory. Simulation verifies the feasibility of the approach.
