New Control Design Technics for Launcher Autopilot Synthesis This thesis deals with the attitude control of a space launcher during atmospheric flight. The dynamic behavior of the launcher can be caracterised by dynamic couplings between the rigid part and thes flexible modes and an unstationnary evolution. The stationnary control law must achieved a various kind of specifications~: time-domain specification (disturbance rejection problem), frequency-domain specification (robustness to unmodeled dynamics) and robustness to uncertain parameters. A new approach for multi-onbjectives synthesis problem for LTI systems is defined to take into account all theses various specifications. This approach is based on the Cross Standard Form (CSF). The CSF can be seen as the general solution of H2 and Hinfinity inverse problems and involves the Youla parametrization and the minimal Observer-Based realization of a given compensator. The interest of the CSF to handle various kind of specifications is particularly highlighted on the launcher application. From the unstationnary control point of view, a smooth gain scheduling of the various LTI compensators is achieved using a procedure to compute a minimal Observer-Based realisation of Hinfinity controllers. This procedure is based on the closed-loop dynamics similitude between H2 and Hinfinity solutions. That is, the H2 closed-loop dynamics of the equivalent Observer-Based realization. All the proposed tools have been tested on the whole launcher application and also on various academic examples from the literature to confirm methodologic interests.
