# Simulation of the MMX Rover landing

To anal­yse how the MMX Rover will be­have un­der the con­di­tions of re­duced grav­i­ty on Pho­bos, the DLR In­sti­tute of Sys­tem Dy­nam­ics and Con­trol is con­duct­ing com­plex sim­u­la­tions. This sim­u­la­tion shows the par­tic­u­lar­ly chal­leng­ing mis­sion phase of the fi­nal mo­ments of the land­ing and the sub­se­quent re­ori­en­ta­tion of the rover, de­ploy­ment of the so­lar pan­els and align­ment with the Sun. Af­ter this com­plete­ly au­tonomous se­quence, the MMX Rover will be able to charge its bat­tery op­ti­mal­ly for its first jour­ney on Pho­bos. Sim­u­la­tions such as these are used in the project to gen­er­ate im­por­tant find­ings for the fur­ther de­vel­op­ment of the rover.
