The four stacks and the associated supporting structure are discarded once the burn is performed.<br />

The used stage will be provided by a small propulsion system that will allow the required<br />

manoeuvres for a controlled entry in the case of the first and second stage, or put it into a<br />

trajectory the does not impact Mars or the TV in the case of the third stage.<br />

2.7.7.1.2.2 MOI<br />

It provides the required ∆V for the Mars orbit injection and final orbit acquisition manoeuvres. It<br />

is composed of two stages, each of them split into two identical stacks, and a supporting<br />

structure. Storable propulsion technology has been selected for this module.<br />

The first stage (orbit insertion) is composed of two stacks of 80 tonnes, while in the case of the<br />

second stage (final orbit acquisition, it is composed of two stacks of 50 tonnes each.<br />
