Trajectory Design for a Spacecraft Capable of Deploying Probes to the Martian Surface en Route to Low Mars Orbit

A. L. Genova / D. Morrison-Fogel / A. D. Perez / A. M. Cassell

The presented trajectory design and analysis was performed for the Aeolus spacecraft mission concept. The Aeolus spacecraft consists of an orbiter (i.e., “mothership”) with the goal of transferring from Earth to low Mars orbit via propulsive and/or atmospheric braking (i.e., aerobraking). During various phases of flight from hyperbolic approach of Mars through low Mars Orbit, the Aeolus orbiter will deploy multiple probes which are targeted to land on the Martian surface with the goal of achieving global surface coverage.
