Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) technology will provide a precision landing capability (<10km landing error) and deliver a large payload (900-1100 kg) safely onto the Martian surface. These technologies are being developed in the specialty areas of guided entry, subsonic parachute, descent propulsion, hazard detection and avoidance, and robust landing.
