Assessment Study<br />

Report: CDF-20(A)<br />

February 2004<br />

It should also be noted, that the landing feet minimum footprint dimension is (largely)<br />

independent of the Lander’s mass as the mass term is present in both the Vertical and Horizontal<br />

resultant force components. The major parameter affecting the footprint dimension is the CoG or<br />

CoM position. The footprint dimension is a direct ration of the CoM height, which should be<br />

kept as low as possible to maintain the required footprint within the envelope dimension of ∅6<br />

m.<br />

4.4.6.3 Baseline design<br />

4.4.6.3.1 Vehicle separation<br />

Due to the potentially large diameter of the MAV to Propulsion module, the separation of the<br />

MAV from the propulsion unit prior to entry and descent launch, shall be realised with a<br />

pyrotechnically cut bolts at up to four locations around the I/F.<br />

4.4.6.3.2 Heat shield jettison<br />

Due to the four point mounting of the heat-shield on to the four landing system feet, the jettison<br />

shall be realised with a pyrotechnically cut bolts at the four foot locations.<br />

4.4.7 Parachute design<br />

4.4.7.1 Requirements and design drivers<br />

Table 4-44: DM Mass Budget<br />

The parachutes for the MEV Descent Module provide a means of decelerating the vehicle from<br />

the high velocity reached at the end of the guided entry to a velocity that can be handed by the<br />

system of landing rockets. The design is driven by the velocity and altitude requirements at the<br />

beginning and end of the parachute descent phase. These are summarised below.
