Scientific paper

This paper presents a synopsis of aerobraking uses, benefits, performance requirements, design issues, and technology requirements for manned Mars missions. Aerobraking can provide significant advantages in several key mission functions: Mars orbit capture, Mars entry from orbit, and earth orbit capture or direct entry. The resulting range of aerobraking performance requirements are described. Study results show that none of the aerobrake unique concerns are show stoppers but are issues having reasonable design solutions and operational impacts.
