Abstract

In this short note, we investigate the feedback control of relativistic dynamics propelled by mass ejection, modeling, e.g., the relativistic rocket control or the relativistic (space-travel) flight control. As an extreme case, we also examine the control of relativistic photon rockets which are propelled by ejecting photons.
