Aerocapture is a mission design concept which uses an aerodynamically controlled atmospheric entry to capture payloads into orbit as opposed to a completely propulsive orbit insertion. Results are presented which demonstrate great performance gains and good accuracy using aerocapture. These results deal only with projected Mars missions; therefore, the aerocapture vehicle system design requirements deal only with Mars. It will be evident, however, that this concept can be readily applied to other atmosphere-bearing celestial bodies.
