Description
Summary:The article provides a brief description of the flight scheme of the advanced automatic spacecraft designed to study Mars and its satellites by remote and contact methods. At the Martian trajectory segment, it is planned to first put the probe into the Deimos’ artificial satellite orbit. Then to land on Phobos to sample soil and deliver it to the Earth. The main ballistic characteristics of the spacecraft flight conditions at all stages of the launch after 2025 are given. Their timeframes for the five launch periods of 2026, 2028, 2030, 2033 and 2035 have been considered. Launching the spacecraft on the trajectory to Mars is performed by a heavy class launchers and upper stages. Angara-A5 LV with KVTK upper stage is considered as the main variant for injection.
