Title of Thesis: A COUPLED INTERPLANETARY – ENTRY, DESCENT AND LANDING TARGETING PROCEDURE Jeremy David Shidner, M.S., 2006 Thesis Directed by: Dr. Robert Tolson National Institute of Aerospace In NASA’s past, targeting to a Mars landing site has required iteration between the Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) analysts at NASA Langley Research Center and the interplanetary navigators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). JPL would develop thousands of arrival states at Mars based on an assumed, constant entry flight path angle and down range angle from entry to landing. Langley would perform the EDL analysis using the arrival states from JPL. Feasible trajectories developed by Langley had varying flight path and down range angles over the entire launch/arrival window forcing an iteration of the trajectory design between JPL and Langley. The iteration process was inefficient, stretching out the design phase while introducing the possibility for error. The purpose of this study is to develop a method that calculates an interplanetary trajectory from Earth to Mars and seamlessly couples the tool with Langley’s EDL analysis. The method will show a novel extension to current Lambert solution methods while incorporating a multiple revolution capability.

Beyond current EDL Technologies on Mars: Evaluation of ARMADA Concepts
The Entry, Descent and Landing System (EDLS) is one of the main system drivers for an interplanetary mission aiming at landing a payload on a planetary surface. It contains three main subsystems with distinct functions designed for the Entry, the Descent and the Landing phases. Each of these subsystems has specific constraints. The first objective of the EDLS is to land safely a payload with a ...

متن کاملG-FOLD: A Real-Time Implementable Fuel Optimal Large Divert Guidance Algorithm for Planetary Pinpoint
Introduction: Spacecraft accumulate large position and velocity errors during the atmospheric entry phase of a planetary mission due to atmospheric uncertainties and limited control authority. The powered descent phase, which is the last phase of Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL), is when the lander makes a controlled maneuver to correct for these errors. This maneuver must be computed onboard ...
