Abstract When inserting a satellite into an orbit around Mars with the use of aerodynamic drag, it is required to apply a robust algorithm which is capable of being adapted to the actual conditions of the planet’s atmosphere. We suggest a method of adaptation taking into account the specific features of the maneuver including descending and ascending legs of the trajectory. It is demonstrated that the algorithm is efficient when disturbances of the density of the Martian atmosphere increase by a factor of 2–3.
