Features of Modeling and Research of the Movement of the Landing Vehicle at the Time of Approach to the Surface

Abstract

The main task facing the designers of descent vehicles for new missions is to ensure the deceleration of the descent vehicle during descent from very high values to acceptable when approaching the surface. It is proposed to use inflatable braking devices for such a landing. The main advantage of such devices is the possibility of using such a device for braking throughout the entire movement from entering the atmosphere to the moment of contact. This significantly reduces the weight of the braking device. This article discusses the features of modeling and processing of results for modeling the movement of a descent vehicle with an inflatable braking device. An inflatable braking device is used for braking in the planet's atmosphere. This article examines the final stage of the descent vehicle's movement, practically near the surface of the planet.
