Question

Consider the sky crane descent portion of the landing sequence.

c. Use your linear model to determine the altitude one minute before landing. How does it compare to your
earlier estimate? Explain any differences you found.

Answer 1

Answer: The model predicts 75m

Explanation:

The model predicts 75m. The earlier estimate was 1.6km (1 mile) and was close to a given point. The model would only be a good predictor during the sky crane phase of landing.
