Mars Direct - AerobrakingMars Direct — Crewed Habitat Approaching MarsMars Direct — Crewed Habitat Approaching Mars

After jettisoning the TMI booster stage,the piloted Habitat orients itself for atmospheric aerobraking.

The Habitat uses the Martian atmosphereto shed its velocity prior to landing,

using no fuel other than to steer.

Bert Rutan quote“… to fulfill people’s dreams …”

“We want our children to go to the planets.

“We are willing to seek breakthroughs by taking risks.

“And if the business-as-usual space developers continue their decades-long pace, they will be gazing from the

slow lane as we speed into the new space age.

“This time, not for prestige but this time, to fulfill people's dreams.”

– Burt RutanJune 20, 2004
