Scientific Details
Delta-v Budget
Our simulation uses accurate Δv requirements: 3.6 km/s for Earth escape, 2.9 km/s for Mars capture, totaling ~6.5 km/s.
Transfer Orbit
Hohmann transfer calculations (a=1.262 AU) with typical transit times of 210-250 days depending on launch window.
Entry Challenges
Mars' thin atmosphere (0.6% of Earth's) requires precise entry angles between 5.5-7.5° to avoid skipping or burning up.
