The Mars Sample Return Campaign has the ambitious goal of returning Mars samples back to Earth [1]. The Earth Entry System (EES), containing the samples, conducts entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on a direct Earth trajectory. During EDL, the EES traverses through many regions of Earth’s atmosphere before impacting the ground at Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR). This poster highlights preliminary results from a study that assessed the flight mechanics simulation sensitivity to atmosphere model settings and investigated the validity of current atmosphere models as compared to available atmospheric data measurements.
