This is a decender designed to take samples of the Martian atmosphere, test it, and beam the results back to Earth. It is also a tumbler, allowing crash landings slower than 50m/s for long-term research.
Landing Sequence:
1.Turn on RCS, lock on Retrograde (SV)
2.Open Drouge Chute at 1600m/s
3.Ditch the heat shield when slowed to Mach 2.
4.When pitch is over 15 degrees, detach the back hull, and deploy the Main Chutes when far enough.
Warning: Do NOT manuver at speeds over 3000m/s
