The application of a hierarchical mixture of experts architecture to Martian entry navigation during the highly dynamic hypersonic pre-parachute deploy phase is investigated.
The very first entry of a probe into Lake Vostok will require that extraordinary precautions be exercised to assure that the vehicle and the instrumentation be clean of biological material.
In this paper, we address the atmospheric entry guidance and control problem for Mars precision landing.
The Genesis project conducted a detailed breakup/burnup analysis before the Earth return to determine if any spacecraft component could survive and reach the ground intact in case of an off-nominal entry. In addition, an independent JPL team was chartered with the responsibility of analyzing several definitive breakup scenarios to verify the official project analysis. This paper presents the analysis and results of this independent team.
During the final approach and Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) of both Mars Exploration Rovers (MER), one-way Doppler were monitored to detect, in real-time, the following events.
