“…EDL consists of six major segments: Exo-Atmospheric, Entry, Parachute Descent, Powered Descent, Sky Crane, and Fly Away. 42 The Exo-Atmospheric segment begins once the cruise stage separation command is sent. Once the cruise stage separates, Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) is enabled.…”

“…The latest in the series of Mars missions is the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), which was launched on November 26,2011. 3 This 4.5 m diameter 70° sphere-cone configuration will be NASA's largest capsule to enter the Mars atmosphere (or any planetary atmosphere for that matter). Like Viking which flew a lifting trajectory with a nominal angle of attack of -11°, the MSL capsule too will fly a lifting trajectory, only this time with a nominal angle of attack of -16°.…”

“…Of particular note are the introductions of guided entry and navigated velocity based event triggers, where the event is sensitive to true Mach. Previous publications have documented the MSL EDL architecture and its development [1,2]. Event trigger logic through the EDL sequence have also been documented in detail [3].…”
