Abstract: WiththedevelopmentoftheMarsexploremission,theproblemofpreciselandingisnowconsideredtobeanessentialchallenge.ForaMarslandingmission,theinitialconditionerrorswouldresultinthedeviationofparachutedeployment,sothelandingpointerrorswouldbelarger.TheMarsatmosphericentryphasewasintroduced,andthedynamicequationofthevehicleandthecorrespondingmathematicmodelswereproposed.A1000-runMonteCarlostudywasperformedtoanalyzetheparachutedeploymentdeviationundertheinitialconditionerrors.Thestudyshowsthatthedownrangeerroris20~40km, andthecrossrangeerroris5~10km.Somesuggestionsweregivenfortheparachutedeploymentprecision,andsomeentryguidancealgorithmswerealsointroduced.
