🇩🇪 #ATMOS has few competitors, of which #VardaSpace and #InversionSpace both apply parachutes 🪂 for the final descent of their return capsules. #Phoenix doesn’t require parachutes due to its large surface area and low mass, allowing its shape to essentially act as a parachute. The ballistic coefficient is lower than #NASA’s #LOFTID demonstrator. The next Phoenix to launch will carry "green #propulsion; ethane and nitrous oxide” https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/06/atmos-space-cargo

For a trip to #Mars 🔴, decreasing travel time by 10% necessitates twice as much fuel, while cutting travel time in half requires ten times as much. May prove worthwhile when considering factors such as decreased exposure time to #radiation ☢️ for crewed 👩🚀 missions. Extra speed must be lost at Mars. Many Mars missions do this, taking about 6 6️⃣ to 7 months for transit to the Red Planet. https://marspedia.org/Hohmann_transfer#Type-I_and_Type-II_Trajectories

#AMAT allows the user to simulate #atmospheric entry trajectories, compute deceleration and heating🌡️loads, compute aerocapture entry corridors and simulate aerocapture trajectories. AMAT supports analysis for all #atmosphere-bearing destinations in the #SolarSystem: #Venus, #Earth, #Mars, #Jupiter, #Saturn, #Titan, #Uranus, and #Neptune https://amat.readthedocs.io/en/master

Parachute 🪂 is not the only means for descent, as high-mass class vehicles are emerging for human 👩🚀 missions. Shallow entry flight-path angles are preferred in order to achieve a lower terminal velocity to ensure a safe descent phase. Retro-propulsion could be activated at Mach 2 and above https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/72944#
