Abstract
There are many ways to study space objects, such as using telescopes on Earth, satellites and orbiters near the study object or rovers on its surface. Some planets and moons of our Solar system have an atmosphere, and in the last decades new types of vehicles, like drones, conventional airplanes or lighter-than-atmosphere vehicles, were designed to explore these space objects in a new way. These types of vehicles, called aerobots, enable to have a greater range of exploration than rovers, and also a higher resolution of images and information than an orbiter, but for obvious reasons can be applied only in planets or moons with an atmosphere, like Mars, Venus and Titan.
In this thesis two different types of aerobots are presented for a mission on Mars: a drone and a parafoil, which have very different characteristics and applications
