Landing on Mars [:)]

The crew prepares its descent to Mars.
Verification of equipment, site and weather, vessels, crew members...

On 14, 3 members stay on Hermes and 11 will go down Mars.

Recommendations NASA:
Exploration zone (EZ), a collection of régions of interest (RoIs) within about 100 km of a landing site and a habitation site.

RoIs are aeras of interest for science and capability development
and may contain resources to support human explorers...



1. Habitation aera
2. Science regions of interest
3. Resource regions of interest
4. Landing zone
5. Mine zone
6. In-situ resource utilization zone
7. Power zone

Ready for the automatic descent.



Before the ground, a little 'hot' moment...

Crucial step in the descent...



Dropping the heat shield and parachute opening.


1024 x 768 in Q4 without R1.3.1 (too long time [:((] )

Small détails: you can see almost four feet, 4 road trains.
This allows the model once on the ground to adjust its position with the other future modules. [:)]

Thanks Lady Vero. [O:)]

Where do you find these background textures/pictures?

Only Celestia ! [:)] Here

And the adventure goes on...



The parachute was dropped and retro-rockets are on.



The ground approaches, the engines raise dust.
