Venus Cloud Layer Investigation: Aeroshells for Entry, Descent and DeploymentEntry, Descent and Deployment (EDD) of aerial platforms at Venus follows similar operational approach as landers. •Limited only by the availability of mass efficient and robust aeroshell (heatshield/TPS) technology. •Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) at TRL 6 is an enabler of Venus in-situ missions.Lower ballistic coefficient, deployable concept, ADEPT, offers additional options•Low deceleration entry profile•Release of one or more payloads (balloons) from open back of the entry vehicle2
