| Abstract | The Mars Science Laboratory Mission (MSL) will be launched during fall 2009 and will reach Mars at its northern summer season. The MSL entry, descent, and landing system is designed to land the heaviest rover, with the best landing precision, and highest elevation capability to date on Mars. The challenging ellipse size and high elevation sites are achieved by use of a guided lifting entry vehicle. The final landing site will be selected one year before launch and therefore the system's performance is to be evaluated for all possible environments in all possible landing sites. This paper discusses EDL sensitivities to support landing site safety preliminary assessment; it illustrates the sensitivities to Martian features identified as relevant to the EDL design. The Martian environmental parameters to which the EDL system is evaluating its sensitivities are atmospheric density and pressure, wind characteristics, speed of sound and terrain characteristics of slope distribution, rock abundance, and radio frequency backscatter. This paper briefly describes the EDL timeline and illustrates the EDL system features critical to understanding EDL performance in the Martian Environment. A preliminary assessment of EDL performance used to support characterization of landing site safety guidelines is presented. Critical sensitivities to atmospheric density, wind speed, local speed of sound and terrain slopes uncertainties have been preliminarily identified and discussed within. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
