Modeling, simulation and visualization of aerocapture
A vehicle travelling from Earth to another planet on a ballistictrajectory approaches that planet at hyperbolic velocity. Upon arrival, the vehicle must significantly reduce its speed for orbit insertion. Traditionally, this deceleration has been achieved by propulsive capture, which consumes a larg...
