minidlanma
Minidlanma is a term used in space engineering to denote a class of miniature landing systems designed for autonomous soft landings by small spacecraft. These systems aim to enable reliable touchdown for vehicles with limited mass, power, and volume, typically in the tens of kilograms range or less. The core objective is to provide controlled landings on a variety of terrains with minimal support from larger landers.
Design principles center on modular architecture, integrated guidance, navigation and control (GNC), and compact propulsion or
Mechanisms for deceleration and touchdown fall into three main deployment approaches: atmospheric deceleration using small thrusters
Applications span micro- and nanosatellite missions to the Moon, near-Earth asteroids, Mars’s moons, or other small
