A multistep algorithm is developed which can be used to analyze the time-dependence of the command angle of bank necessary to inject a space vehicle into the orbit of a Mars satellite by means of aero-dynamic braking in the planet's atmosphere. At each step navigation parameters for the remaining portion of the entrance trajectory are refined using data from a stabilized accelerometer and information on the orbit prior to entry into the atmosphere, and applying a method based on the parametric family of navigation trajectories developed by Okhotsimskyi et al. (1975). A numerical example is given. It is shown that the width of the entry corridor assured by this algorithm differs from that physically possible by less than 1 km.
