Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) successfully completed its first phase of aerobraking in early 1998 and is the rst planetary mission to use aerobraking as a primary means of customizing its orbit to achieve its mission objectives. The aerobraking requirem

The three-dimensional flows over the ARIES missile at approximately 138-, 110-, and 91-km altitudes are simulated at zero angle of attack using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. At these altitudes, the aerodynamics near the missile range from
