Embodiment Construction

[0027] exist figure 1 The space probe 1 of the present invention, shown in its entirety above, is a probe for setting up a planetary exploration vehicle, and is in particular applied to a Mars probe.

[0028] It comprises a landing module 2 supporting a mobile exploration vehicle 3 .

[0029] figure 1 The probe shown is equipped with a heat shield 6 and a rear shield 7 to protect it when it enters the planet's atmosphere.

[0030] The rear cover 7 comprises concentric grooves 13 and 14, the central groove housing a hypersonic parachute propelled by a mortier and the peripheral groove housing a subsonic main parachute.

[0031] Dropping module 2 comprises the structure that can support and let go of shield 6 below, and in figure 2 In , the lower portion of the detector with the shield retracted is shown, and the joint 15 capable of hooking the shield to the lower structure of the landing module is shown.

[0032] Likewise, the landing module includes a structure capable of...

Abstract

The invention relates to a space probe (1) that comprises a descent module with a mobile exploration vehicle (3), characterised in that the descent module is a landing module (2) inside which the mobile exploration vehicle is fastened, the landing module being provided with landing legs (4) which can be deployed under the lower level of the mobile exploration vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a landing device for a space probe and a landing method for a probe equipped with the device. Background technique [0002] Various devices and methods are known for the landing of space probes on celestial bodies. [0003] When the lunar module carrying the lunar rover performs a lunar exploration mission, the moon landing is achieved, for example, by means of a reverse thrust rocket, and the lunar module can take off again. [0004] In the case of a mission on a planet with an atmosphere, such as using a parachute to slow down the probe, the probe is supported by a support module containing balloons that cushion impacts from the ground. [0005] It can be seen that currently realized detectors as a whole comprise a support structure and a charge utilite, the latter being, for example, a "rover" type operational module attached to the support structure. [0006] The support structure cushions the impact of landing and is und...
