Dynamics of the movement of the descent vehicle in the atmosphere of Mars with the use of inflatable brakes in the lower atmosphere

Abstract Currently, more and more spacecrafts are being designed, to explore the planets of the solar system. One of the very important stages in the execution of such missions is the movement from the moment of deorbiting until the moment of approaching the surface. The entire descent trajectory fr...

Summary:Abstract Currently, more and more spacecrafts are being designed, to explore the planets of the solar system. One of the very important stages in the execution of such missions is the movement from the moment of deorbiting until the moment of approaching the surface. The entire descent trajectory from the moment of separation to contact with the surface is a very important stage and a very important object of research particularly in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It is to this process that a series of articles by the authors is devoted. This article is devoted to the movement of the descent vehicle in the lower atmosphere. Some parameters of the descent vehicle movement at this stage of movement are analyzed. The importance of such research and the possibility of using inflatable braking devices are shown.
