• TPS sizing to be done utterly. A provision of 50 kg has been taken into account for the mass<br />

budget<br />

• Fuel tank insulation<br />

The ascent vehicle fuel tanks are insulated by lightweight foam, type Basotect (open cell foam)<br />

appropriate to the Martian environment. An external goldenized kapton foil is added to reduce<br />

radiative heat exchange. The tanks are assumed to be enclosed in a protective frame whereas a<br />

thin TPS layer is added.<br />
