متن کاملAtmospheric Density During the Aerobraking of Mars Odyssey from Radio Tracking Data
We analyzed X-band radio tracking observations of the Mars Odyssey spacecraft during its aerobraking phase (October 2001–January 2002). Using the precision orbit determination softwareGEODYN,we obtained estimates of the spacecraft orbital energy lost during eachperiapsis pass due to atmospheric drag.Wealso recovered atmospheric density values at each periapsis, assuming simple exponential atmos...
متن کاملAssimilation of Thermal Emission Spectrometer atmospheric data during the Mars Global Surveyor aerobraking period
The Thermal Emission Spectrometer aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has produced an extensive atmospheric data set, beginning during aerobraking and continuing throughout the extended scientific mapping phase. Temperature profiles for the atmosphere below about 40 km, surface temperatures and total dust and water ice opacities, can be retrieved from infrared spectra in nadir viewing mo...
متن کاملMars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey Accelerometer observations of the Martian upper atmosphere during aerobraking
[1] Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey accelerometer measurements of martian upper atmospheric densities reveal the large-scale and small-scale structure of the thermosphere in unprecedented detail. Meridional density gradients, which are seasonally dependent, are greater on the dayside than the nightside, indicating stronger meridional winds on the dayside. Density scale heights do not vary...
متن کاملApplication of MAVEN Accelerometer and Attitude Control Data to Mars Atmospheric Characterization
The structure of the upper atmosphere of Mars (above ∼100 km) has been probed in situ mainly using spacecraft accelerometers during the aerobraking phases of 3 Mars orbiters. In a similar manner, the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) Accelerometer Experiment (ACC) will also use atmospheric drag accelerations sensed by inertial measurement units (IMU) onboard the spacecraft to recov...
