This work quantifies the backshell radiative heating experienced by payloads on human- scale vehicles entering the Martian atmosphere. Three underlying configurations were studied: a generic sphere, a sphere-cone forebody with a cylindrical payload,

Current NASA Human Mars architectures require delivery of approximately 20 metric tons of cargo to the surface in a single landing. A proposed vehicle type for performing the entry, descent, and landing at Mars associated with this architecture is a

In the early stages of aeroshell shape design, it is important to strike an appropriate balance between analysis fidelity and computational effort. Because the prediction of aerodynamic heating for axisymmetric flows is significantly faster than for
