Abstract

This work is aimed at improving the technology of descent of spacecraft to the surface of planets covered with atmosphere. This paper proposes to use inflatable braking devices for landing on the planet’s surface. These inflatable brakes help to reduce the approach speed to the surface to an acceptable level. A feature of the considered descent vehicle is asymmetry due to the displaced center of pressure relative to the longitudinal axis. The work simulates the movement of the descent vehicle with an inflatable braking device. Mathematical modeling of the descent process in a stationary flow and a flow with variable parameters have been carried out. The studies were carried out using the numerical integration of the differential equations of motion. The results of changes in the angle of attack versus time are shown in the form of graphs. The influence of damping on the stability of the rotational motion of the descent vehicle relative to the center of mass is shown.
