This presentation describes recent development of modeling and simulation technologies by NASA's Entry Systems Modeling Project and their infusion into the Agency's exploration missions. Technology development is organized and prioritized using a system-level perspective, resulting in four broad technical areas of investment: (1) Thermal protection material modeling, (2) Shock layer kinetics and radiation, (3) Computational and experimental aerosciences, and (4) Guidance, navigation, and control. The presentation will illustrate how applied research can meaningfully impact flight programs by highlighting a few recent contributions: Orion and Mars 2020 radiative heating margin policy; Study of radiative heating at Titan; Aerothermal-mechanical erosion due to dust at Mars; Modeling the PICA-NuSil system; and contributions to modeling of parachutes for entry systems.
