#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 #Neptunehttps://amat.readthedocs.io/en/master

Content Warning

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#

Content Warning

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
