Abstract

With regard to the human exploration of Mars, based on aerobraking, the dynamics equations for the Mars vehicle were established, both in the static and rotating atmospheric environment. Simulations of the flight databases were generated by a Matlab process based on a three-dimensional dynamic model. A comparative performance analysis of atmospheric models was carried out using details of the duration, aerodynamicloading of the Mars vehicle, and other orbital parameters. The results show that changes of the orbital parameters form are large difference under the rotating and static atmospheric environments on the low periareon, the influence of the rotating atmospheric environment should be considered.
