文摘The entry vehicle for the Tianwen-1 mission successfully landed on the surface of Mars at 7:18 AM BJT on May 15,2021.This successful landing made China the first country to orbit,land,and release a rover in their first attempt at the Mars exploration.The guidance,navigation,and control(GNC)system plays a crucial role in the entry,descent,and landing(EDL)phases.This study focused on the attitude control component of the GNC system design.The EDL phase can be divided into several sub-phases,namely the angle of attack control phase,lift control phase,parachute descent phase,and powered descent phase.Each sub-phase has unique attitude control requirements and challenges.This paper introduces the key aspects of designing attitude controllers for each phase.Furthermore,flight results are presented and analyzed.
