Abstract
A Planetary Entry Systems Synthesis Tool, with applications to conceptual design and modeling of entry systems has been developed. This tool is applicable to exploration missions that employ entry, descent and landing or aerocapture. An integrated framework brings together relevant disciplinary analyses and enables rapid design and analysis of the atmospheric entry mission segment. Tool performance has been validated against Mars Pathfinder flight experience and has direct relevance to future NASA robotic and human space exploration systems.
