Description
Mars entry, descent and landing (EDL) begins when the vehicle reaches Mars atmospheric interface (about 125km altitude) and ends when the supersonic parachute is deployed. EDL phase is considered the critically important sub-phase, and largely determines the success or not of entire Mars EDL. A new Mars EDL mission design and simulation tool, named as MEDLMDST, has been developed at the Space New Technology Laboratory, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In this paper, the components and architecture of MEDLMDST are firstly introduced. Then, the progress of MEDLMDST and some new results in EDL trajectory optimization, navigation and guidance are reported in detailed.
