摘要

The Phoenix Mars Scout mission incorporates a radar altimeter/velocimeter which provides surface-relative range and velocity during the terminal descent stage of Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL). The radar was not designed to be used as a landing radar for a Mars mission and, in fact, was adapted from an altimeter used in fighter aircraft. To ensure that this critical component of the landing system operates properly during terminal descent and meets the performance requirements of the landing system, a comprehensive test campaign was initiated. The test campaign included numerous helicopter drop tests, sophisticated radar target stimulator tests, and a detailed software simulation of the radar and landing system. Several surprising and important radar/flight system interaction issues were revealed during the test campaign, a number of which would have been catastrophic had they occurred during EDL. In this paper we provide a brief overview of the Phoenix mission, a description of the landing system and the radar, and a detailed discussion of the test campaign, problems revealed during testing, and how these issues were addressed via EDL sequence, radar, or lander flight system modifications.
