Entry, Descent and Landing of a MultiScout Lander

After being slowed down by the parachute a balloon will carry the lander inside inflated airbags to a safe distance from the surface. This lander is heading to an area within the Gorgonum Chasma to investigate what appears to be water gullies on the canyon sides.

Next: Bounce to the surface.
