Experts from MSTU are named after. NE Bauman presented a project for a promising manned spacecraft for an expedition to Mars. The paper was presented at Academic Readings on Astronautics. The main development goal is to reduce flight time and maximize crew safety, transmit .
According to calculations, the most favorable time for such a mission will open in 2028-2029. The next suitable periods are 2035, 2041 and 2047.
The design of the ship involves the use of existing technologies without creating a nuclear engine. Special attention is paid to the landing module: its shape is optimized for entering the rarefied atmosphere of Mars, and the integrated take-off rocket can also serve as an emergency rescue system in case of a failed landing, helping the crew escape danger.
To return to Earth, when the spacecraft entered the atmosphere at a speed of 15 km/s, engineers proposed using special brakes to reduce energy.
The project also involves using the ship in unmanned mode to transport rovers and equipment to Mars to prepare infrastructure for future expeditions.
