Artwork of spacecraft using aerobraking technique
Artists impression of a future spacecraft returning from the Moon or Mars and using the aerobraking technique to lose velocity before entering Earth orbit. The spacecraft is seen entering the Earths upper atmosphere, where it will lose speed via air friction before re- emerging into the desired orbit. Future Mars missions may also use the Martian atmosphere for aerobraking when entering orbit. Present-day spacecraft have to use their rocket engines to lose speed, a manoeuvre which uses up a great deal of fuel

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary artwork depicting the innovative concept of spacecraft employing aerobraking techniques. In this artist's impression, we witness a futuristic spacecraft returning from either the Moon or Mars, gracefully navigating through Earth's upper atmosphere. This ingenious maneuver allows the craft to shed its velocity by utilizing air friction before re-emerging into its intended orbit. The image serves as a reminder that present-day space missions heavily rely on rocket engines to decelerate, consuming substantial amounts of fuel in the process. However, this visionary depiction presents an alternative approach for future Mars missions and beyond - harnessing the power of planetary atmospheres for aerobraking during orbital entry. As humanity continues to explore and colonize distant celestial bodies, such groundbreaking techniques hold immense potential for revolutionizing manned spaceflight. The utilization of aerobraking not only conserves precious resources but also paves the way for sustainable space industrialization. This awe-inspiring artwork aptly captures our collective imagination and sparks curiosity about what lies ahead in our quest to conquer new frontiers. It symbolizes humanity's unwavering determination to push boundaries and embrace innovation as we embark on bold journeys into uncharted territories.
