Mars landing mission: A structural approach [PDF]
A Mars landing mission in 2000 presents a structural challenge. Earlier studies have indicated that a Mars landing was then feasible using current structural techniques. Since these earlier studies, technology advances were made to enhance the capability.

Entry, Descent, and Landing for Human Mars Missions [PDF]
, 2012 One of the most challenging aspects of a human mission to Mars is landing safely on the Martian surface. Mars has such low atmospheric density that decelerating large masses (tens of metric tons) requires methods that have not yet been demonstrated, and ...
