Simulation of the MMX Rover landing
To analyse how the MMX Rover will behave under the conditions of reduced gravity on Phobos, the DLR Institute of System Dynamics and Control is conducting complex simulations. This simulation shows the particularly challenging mission phase of the final moments of the landing and the subsequent reorientation of the rover, deployment of the solar panels and alignment with the Sun. After this completely autonomous sequence, the MMX Rover will be able to charge its battery optimally for its first journey on Phobos. Simulations such as these are used in the project to generate important findings for the further development of the rover.
