Popis: Landing systems for future space missions in Earth and Mars require trustable technologies capable of achieving its aim in the most accurate way possible. Using the special software Universal Mechanism (developed by Bryansk State Technical University) and the classic mechanics theory on a model based on the geometry of the ExoMars vehicle, a series of different landing situations have been simulated varying the initial conditions, the approach to the surface and the surface itself. As a result, the values of the arising overloads and forces acting on the descent vehicle and its payload were calculated during the landing stage in Earth and Mars. The information collected would help understand to what extent it is crucial to know the characteristics of the landing zone (type of soil, slope, etc.) and to control the vehicle’s inclination (measured from the radial axis) to provide successful landings for future missions.
