Spaceflight 🚀6 months to get to #Mars 🔴.#Starship will enter Mars’ atmosphere at 7.5 kilometers per second and decelerate #aerodynamically https://www.spacex.com/humanspaceflight/mars
As the #spacecraft approaches Mars 🔴, it will need to perform a capture burn 🔥 to slow down and be captured by Mars' gravity. This requires a delta-v of about 0.7 to 1.3 km/s to enter Mars' orbit or to land on the planet's surface. #Starship 🚀 will enter #Mars’ atmosphere at 7.7 km/sec and decelerate #aerodynamically https://www.uc.edu/content/dam/refresh/cont-ed-62/olli/fall-23-class-handouts/SpaceX%208%20%20Mars%20%20Vision%20Summary.pdf
