How do you land on Mars?


Did you ever think about landing on Mars and the technology, which is behind it? This short animation can help you understand which of the landing technologies were taken in to consideration when launching spacecrafts to the Mars. Finally the first option was used when the Spirit and Opportunity was sent toward the Mars.

In my humble opinion, the most interesting option still is the third one, but from the far as I can see, it looks the most complicated.

Can you imagine, how many computer simulation were done before sending those spacecrafts into space?
