The goal is to softly land high mass vehicles (10s of metric tons) on Mars. Supersonic Retropropulsion (SRP) is a potential method of deceleration. Current method of supersonic parachutes does not scale past approximately 1 metric ton. CFD is of increasing importance since flight and experimental data at these conditions is difficult to obtain. CFD must first be validated at these conditions.
