Abstract: In order to explore landing technology of Mars lander,the omni-direction airbag landing device of Mars Pathfinder was used and the structural design and landing mathematic and mechanical model were established by use of modern FEM analysis technology.The simulation process was developed,and the important parameters including a dynamic process of whole airbag to cushion the landing,overload analysis of important structural parts,the displacement and speed changes,internal air pressure and temperature curve and the airbag structure dynamic stress distribution were obtained.The result demonstrates the good buffer property of Mars lander and engineering application of FEM simulation analysis.
