  3. Introduction MSL EDL Mars EDL with SRP (NASA/TM-2010-216720) 1.8 MN O/CH4 3-4 Earth g’s 0.9 t payload “As Mars missions approach human class entry masses, the required size of supersonic deployable aerodynamic decelerators renders them impractical…initiation of propulsive deceleration must occur earlier in the descent phase…SRP becomes an enabling technology for human class Mars missions.” - NASA EDL Roadmap (TA09), November 2010. 40 t payload • Problem: Mars EDL technologies are nearing their payload limit • Mars Science Laboratory =4.5 m aeroshell + 21.5 m parachute = 0.9 t payload • Larger supersonic parachutes are inhibited by scaling challenges • Goals beyond MSL: • More mass (10s of t) • Better accuracy (meters) • Higher landing elevation • Solution: Use propulsive deceleration = Supersonic Retropropulsion (SRP) • SRP is considered to be enabling for human-scale (5-40 t) & enhancing for robotic-scale (2-5 t) Mars EDL International Planetary Probe Workshop 10 Short Course 2013

  4. SRP Early Developments Jarvinen, NASA CR NAS 7-576, 1970 • Long period of inactivity from 1970s to 2000s 1 Jet, High Thrust 3 Jets, Low Thrust Mach > 1 Jet • Wind tunnel tests from 1950s to 1970s studied SRP as an augmentation to aerodynamic deceleration • General aerodynamic trends were observed, but no development beyond the laboratory • CD,Total = CD,Aero + CT • CT (= T/q∞Sref) known from engine thrust and trajectory conditions • CD,Aero depends on vehicle geometry, jet configuration & thrust magnitude International Planetary Probe Workshop 10 Short Course 2013

  5. SRP in EDL Project (2010-2011) LaRC 4x4 ARC 9x7 • CFD Modeling • CFD complicated by unsteady & turbulent flow • Promising qualitative (flowfield structure) & quantitative (pressure) comparisons to wind tunnel data • Open Issues • Vehicle configurations, engine development, aerodynamic stability, aerothermodynamics, vehicle transitions, ground interactions, flight tests • Wind Tunnel Testing • Mach 1.8 to 4.6 • Cold gas jets • CT = T/(q∞Sref) = 0 to ~10 • Surface pressure & high-speed video DPLR FUN3D OVERFLOW Mach 4.6, CT = 2 • Flight Test Conceptual Design • Sounding rocket platform • Engine options, notional mass & packaging June 15-16, 2013 International Planetary Probe Workshop 10 Short Course 2013

  6. NASA LaRC UPWT Test, Mach 4.6, AoA = 0 No Jets 1 Jet, CT = 2 3 Jets, CT = 2 4 Jets, CT = 2 International Planetary Probe Workshop 10 Short Course 2013

  7. CFD of NASA LaRC UPWT Test3 Jets, Mach 4.6, AoA = 12, CT = 3 DPLR OVERFLOW FUN3D International Planetary Probe Workshop 10 Short Course 2013

  8. SRP Recommended Next Steps • Define reference vehicles (robotic & human) • Allows sizing of propulsion system (engines, tanks, etc.) • Complete hot-fire engine tests • Provides data for startup transients & effect on vehicle aerodynamics • Develop large (100s of kN) throttle-able engines • Required for engine use through touchdown • Complete Earth-based & Mars precursor flight tests at progressively higher scale & complexity • Reduces risks for mission infusion • Eventually includes vehicle transitions & touchdown • Develop high-fidelity EDL simulations • SRP mass, packaging & performance • CFD-based aerosciences tools International Planetary Probe Workshop 10 Short Course 2013
