ESA Explores Bold New Approach: Sending Rocketships to Mars at 11,000mph

The European Space Agency (ESA) is exploring the concept of aerocapture as a new method to orbit Mars, aiming to revolutionize how we reach the Red Planet. The conventional method of using rocket engines to slow down spacecraft has limitations, such as requiring a lot of fuel and prolonging the journey. Aerocapture could offer a more efficient and cost-effective approach, allowing for faster arrival at Mars and enabling a wider range of missions.
