Humans are trying to explore the solar system and the moon was the first. Since the recent
decades the interest has shifted towards so called twin planet of Earth. Martian surface
having similar features reminiscent both of impact craters of Moon and the various desert
and polar ice caps of Earth. Landers and Rovers are the most effective ways to explore Mars
in this existing Technology. This is a company’s Hercules job of taking the rover or Lander to
the surface. The most crucial part of this type of missions is entry Descent and landing of the
instruments on the surface. This process involves a lot of complicated technologies and
accuracy in execution; this is discussed in the forthcoming papers
