Aerothermodynamic and control system parameters and performance are discussed. Aerocapture trajectories were run for several combinations of entry path angles and velocities for the SO2P, MSR, and Uranus missions. The SO2P trajectories represent a Titan atmospheric entry for orbit about Saturn; the MSR trajectories represent a Mars atmospheric entry for orbit about Mars; similarly, the Uranus trajectories enter an Uranus atmosphere to achieve orbit about Uranus.
