Abstract: The aerothermodynamics data reconstructed after the successful landing of Mars Science Laboratory shows that radiative heating has an important impact on the design of thermal protection system of Mars entry vehicles, which is different from previous understanding.However, there are still unknown mechanism and model uncertainty need to be studied.Due to the high-temperature and non-equilibrium in the high-speed entry, the aerothermal environment is different from that of conventional CO2 infrared radiation study.Firstly, a high-temperature non-equilibrium spectral radiation model applicable for Martian atmosphere has been established to obtain the spectral structure and radiation intensity, which in turn, were compared with test results from NASA and JAXA, and agreed well. Secondly, the radiation intensity under typical Mars entry velocity has been obtained by both computational method and experiment using shock tube and emission measurement techniques; the results of computation and test are in good agreement with NASA test results, validating the flow and spectrum models. Finally, numerical simulations and analysis of aero-radiation on Pathfinder have been conducted, non-equilibrium flow filed and radiation characteristics under typical conditions were completed, the spectral radiance along stagnation line based on ray tracing method was obtained, indicating that there is a significant difference between the aerodynamic radiation mechanism under high-speed and low-speed conditions; the radiative heating rate distribution on the surface was obtained based on finite volume method, and the results show the distribution and change of the radiative heating is significantly different from the reentry of the earth.The radiative heating rate decreases with the increase of the entry speed when the entry speed is below 6 km/s, and the radiative heating rate on the cone and shoulders is higher than the stagnation region.
