Abstract

Methods for calculating heat and erosion impact caused by particles in the Martian atmosphere on the heat protection of the descent module EXOMARS-2 during descent in the atmosphere are presented. Atmosphere models corresponding to climatic conditions when landing on the Martian surface are investigated for the landing site Oxita Planum.
