  2. Royal Observatory of Belgium von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics Why is reconstruction important? • Mars is the ultimate test facility: learn from one mission to design the next • Trajectory reconstruction • Vehicle response:deceleration, velocity, attitude • Atmosphere reconstruction • What environmentproduces the vehicle response? • Constrain environment to validate ground predictions • Constrain Mars climate models • ExoMars EDL Demonstrator Module (EDM) will land during the 2016 Mars dust season Viking Pathfinder MSL IPPW-10 18 June 2013

Royal Observatory of Belgium von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics Reconstructing from conventional instrumentation • Inertial Measurement Unit = IMU • Positional measurements by accelerometers and gyroscopes • Estimate atmosphere from trajectory reconstruction: • Densityfrom acceleration and drag coefficient • Pressure from hydrostatic equilibrium • Temperature from ideal gas law • Atmospheric reconstruction starts from density from drag equation: • acceleration aerodynamic drag coefficienttrue air speed IPPW-10 18 June 2013

  9. Royal Observatory of Belgium von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics ExoMars EDM: impact of assumptions in IMU atmosphere reconstruction • Typical error sources in IMU reconstruction • Start from “true” MCD density profile provided to 500 Hz simulation (dust storm scenario) • Reconstruct at 100 Hz like the ExoMars IMU • Assume pure CO2 instead of actual gas mixture • Neglect winds since IMU can’t resolve those • Incorrectly model the drag coefficient (+ 3-σ) • Conclusion • Neglecting wind can be as detrimentalas mispredicting the drag coefficient!

  10. Royal Observatory of Belgium von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics Strong winds along EDM trajectory: especially during dust storms • EDM will fly along the equator • Seen from the Mars surface:stronghigh altitude retrograde wind • Seen from space: atmosphere lags behind rigid planet rotation • Caused by migrating thermal tides due to solar heating Relative velocity and atmospheric density from IMU data are uncorrected for winds Could we improve density reconstruction by estimating winds from FADS?

  15. Royal Observatory of Belgium von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics Monte Carlo: FADS reconstruction vs. IMU MCD 5.0 dust • IMU density estimate: large bias error (neglects winds) • FADS with IMU air speed: similar to IMU < 80 km • FADS with corrected air speed: wind estimate too noisy • Limited benefit from additional sensors Conclusion Poor wind estimate increases uncertainty Both FADS and IMU over 5% uncertainty on IPPW-10 18 June 2013
