Planetary Exploration
In addition to NASA's Mission to Mars, there is interest in studying the mechanics
of flight in other atmospheres in anticipation of exploring other planets and
satellites both in and out of the solar system. Little is currently know about
the Reynolds number, lift, and airfoil dynamics in an atmosphere with a different
density and/or composition from the Earth's.
