Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) comprise a relatively small portion of a mission’s timeline, however, it is typically among the largest risks. Flying through a body’s atmosphere reliably and accurately – from orbit to ground or via aerocapture – is a critical step toward successful in situ exploration. This exhibit will highlight EDL simulation and ground test capabilities, both existing and under development, that could support mission design, risk reduction, and post-flight analysis for Planetary Science mission concepts displayed in the 2023 SMD Planetary Science Technology Showcase.
