Europe has fixed on a concept for its next mission to land on the Red Planet. It aims to send a single robot rover to the Martian surface along with another, stationary, science package. |

Thanks for the link to the ESA page : I discovered this EDL procedure which seems quite 'baroque' to me also, with all those parachutes sequences embedded in one another.
Many failure points are at risk and I would have liked Jim Martin (Viking Program Manager) to give us his opinion on the subject. Then... let's go back to the basics ...which are still to be considered as a technological feat even 43 years after the successful landings of the two Viking spacecrafts ! |
