There are many similarities between the high altitude environment of Earth and the atmospheric environment of Mars. Recent flight testing used the high altitude environment of Earth to simulate the final phase of Mars planetary entry. This paper describes the techniques used to design and implement a low-cost atmospheric entry test, in this case used for evaluation of a proposed technology for a solar heated, methanol inflated balloon for Mars exploration.
