Experiment program:In the beginning of the chapter

Penetrators are separated from the spacegraft 3 to 5 days prior to the encounter with Mars, and begin their autonomous flight; probes are transferred into a descent trajectory permitting their penetration to the selected areas of Mars. In the Martian atmosphere probes undergo aerodynamic braking, first using a rigid cone and then, air-inflated braking devic, until a given velocity is reached to provide their penetration into Martian regolith. A probe impacts with the surface at a velocity of 80 m/s with a separation of the forebody and afterbody.The penetrating part of the probe forebody carrying the scientific and housekeeping instrumentation tnters the regolith down to 506m, while the afterbody with the rest of the instrumentation remains on the surface. Scientific studies begin after penetration. Information is transmitted to the orbiter. Duration of a session is about 6 min.
