Scientific paper

The paper reports on the design and fabrication of a Mars aerobrake mockup that has been used in a series of underwater neutral buoyancy tests designed to address this on-orbit assembly issue. Particular attention is given to the aerobrake shell, truss components, and fastener issues. It is noted that soft docking alignment fasteners, fasteners between petals, and fasteners to connect the petal-to-petal truss members are all needed for this mockup.
