Mars Landing Tested with MINIATURE Model at 4300 kmph

Описание: Think Mars Landings Are Just Computer Simulations? Think Again.
To prepare for landing on Mars, engineers fired a tiny 8-centimeter model of the ExoMars landing capsule from a gun at speeds reaching 4,300 kilometers per hour. This extreme test recreated the brutal conditions of atmospheric entry into Mars, where heat, pressure, and stability decide whether a spacecraft survives or fails.

The entire flight lasted just half a second, shown 60 times slower, but during that brief moment, sensors captured critical data on airflow, shockwaves, and capsule behavior. Every data point helps engineers understand how the real ExoMars spacecraft will slow down, stay stable, and safely descend through the thin Martian atmosphere.

Do search more and break down why scientists use high-speed gun tests, how scaled models can reveal real-world physics, and what it takes to land a spacecraft on the Red Planet. Perfect for fans of Mars missions, space engineering, space engineering explainer and behind-the-scenes testing.
