Influence of atmospheric composition on heat transfer and ablation is studied together with equilibrium convective heating, including boundary-layer mass addition; gas properties at relatively low temperatures near wall control heating rate and precise definition of transport properties at stagnation temperatures associated with entry is not necessary; correlation equation, in terms of relatively low-temperature freestream gas properties and suitably defined mass-addition parameter, is given; heating rates for no mass addition in Martian atmospheres are from 10 to 25% higher than those in nitrogen.
