Download scientific diagram | Spacecraft design The lessons learnt from the Mars Express mission, with its Beagle Lander, indicated that a landing mission without an active propulsion system has a high degree of risk in losing the mission. This seems to be the case for the Beagle descent mission. Based on this assumption, ESA decided to investigate two landing philosophies, thus: 1. Solid rocket motor braking manoeuvre, supported by a liquid propulsion system with capsuled airbag solution 2. Soft landing with liquid propulsion and a lower floor airbag damping system. from publication: Propulsion Technologies -Present Status and Future Needs for Exploration | Propulsion is an indispensable element for all future space challenges. European concentration in the last 30 years in this sector was focused mainly on launcher and satellite propulsion applications.
