To take full advantage of our increased access to space, through reduced launch costs that ridesharing opportunities present, innovative and lower cost options for interplanetary exploration are needed. Capitalizing on the technology miniaturization trends and the SmallSat class of vehicles could provide advancements for interplanetary space exploration. Presented here, are the results of a feasibility study conducted during an internship at NASA Langley Research Center that explored the use of a SmallSat-sized Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (HIAD) to enable interplanetary orbital science missions via aerocapture.
