Precision landing is a technology that is expected to be used in future interplanetary trips. Entry, descent, and landing (EDL) of autonomous spacecraft on the surface of a planetary body with a degree of precision in the order of meters is extremely difficult. This review focuses on the missions to the planetary worlds Mars and Titan. Powered descent guidance for Mars landing sequences is a topic that has received a lot of attention, and the research has been based on a large body of literature. The algorithm has been improved to work with two additional mission scenarios. A parafoil has been recommended for landing on Titan by NASA’s Space Exploration Technology Directorate because of its cost effectiveness, ease of deployment, low mass compared to the potential payload, and precision autonomous delivery capabilities.
