Nasa tests ways to crash land on mars

NASA conducts extensive testing to develop safe landing techniques for Mars missions. They explore various methods to ensure spacecraft and rovers can land on the Martian surface successfully. One approach involves aerodynamic braking and the use of a heat shield to slow down the spacecraft during entry. Then, a supersonic parachute is deployed to further reduce speed. Finally, some missions use retrorockets or a "sky crane" for a controlled descent to gently touch down on the Martian terrain. These methods are essential for safely delivering equipment and rovers to explore the Red Planet's surface.
