I'm not sure how much they can carry on re-entry. More heating etc., and more weight when doing the landing.

- bilsbie 2y agoThey’re going to enter mars atmosphere with a full payload at a faster speed so I think it could handle it.
- dragonwriter 2y agoMars has less gravity and less atmosphere, so its not a comparable situation.
- senectus1 2y agothats the intention, its hardly a proven.
- wongarsu 2y agoMars has less than 1% the atmosphere of earth. That makes it easier in some ways and more difficult in others. I don't think you can really judge the performance when landing on Earth by looking at the performance when landing on Mars.
