What Does ELS Stand For?
ELS stands for Earth Landing System Subsystem
The Earth Landing System Subsystem (ELS) is a critical component designed to support the safe and efficient landing of spacecraft on terrestrial surfaces. It encompasses a range of technologies and processes that ensure precise trajectory control, impact attenuation, and stability upon touchdown. ELS integrates advanced guidance, navigation, and control systems, along with safety mechanisms, to facilitate a successful landing sequence in diverse environmental conditions. Its development is essential for a variety of aerospace missions, including crewed and uncrewed space flights, enhancing overall mission reliability and safety.
