Abstract

The calculation data on convective and radiation heating of the Pathfinder space vehicle (SV) during entry into the Martian atmosphere at an angle of attack are presented. Comparison with the results of calculations of convective heating of the frontal surface of the Pathfinder SV in the axisymmetric statement is carried out. The data on the radiation heating of the Pathfinder SV entering the Martian atmosphere at an angle of attack have been obtained for the first time. The analysis of the spectral composition of the thermal radiation reaching the surface of the space vehicle is carried out; this makes it possible to mark the change of modes of the radiation heating.
