Martian Airship

Martian Airship research focuses on the design and analysis of lighter-than-air platforms for sustained exploration of the Martian atmosphere. The work explores buoyancy-driven systems, structural and aerodynamic behavior in low-density CO₂ environments, energy management, and long-duration aerial operations to support reconnaissance, science payloads, and surface mission coordination.
