The applicability of the electromagnetic aerobraking flight system is investigated by using trajectory analyses and DSMC simulations. The numerical results indicate that the electromagnetic flow control system could shorten the flight time of the aerobraking flight drastically with a relatively weak applied magnetic field. This is due to that the vehicle is decerelated near the perigee point more efficiently by the electromagnetic force, compared to the aerodynamic force. By utilizing this system, the flight time of the aerobraking flight could be reduced to about 30% of the flight time without applied magnetic field.
