| Description |
English: "In October 2023, after the cruise phase (Figure 5), high energy Photon will target an entry interface to deploy a small (~20 kg) probe directly into the atmosphere with an entry flight path angle (EFPA) between −10 and −30 degrees, with a baseline of −10 degrees. The probe communicates direct-to-Earth through an S-band communications link with a hemispherical antenna returning science data captured during the descent and stored on board. The entry interface will be selected to satisfy science objectives (night-side entry and latitude targeting), Earth communication geometry, and other factors. The EFPA will be selected based on an analysis of the entry and descent timeline, the integrated heat load and required thermal protection system (TPS) thickness, probe acceleration (g-loading) limits, navigation precision, and other factors." |
