2.7.6.5 Orbit insertion and acquisition around Mars<br />

Several technologies or strategies can be used for the orbit insertion around Mars. Preliminary<br />

analysis have been performed for these cases:<br />

• Propulsive manoeuvre, using storable bipropellant technology.<br />

• Aerobraking, no configuration changes assumed, orbit insertion performed by means of a<br />

propulsive manoeuvre, storable technology, 120 m/s added for orbit corrections<br />

• Aerocapture, no configuration changes assumed, no heat shield included, 120 m/s added<br />

for orbit corrections<br />
