Look for the Works from Carter Emmart (that's where i got the idea for my marslander), one of it shows landers landing by parachute and rockets. The parachutes are huge in comparison to the lander, they need to be because Mars atmosphere is about 6 to 7 mbar compared to usual 1000 mbar here on earth.
And there should be openings in the parachute, as they are now they are quite unstable (risk of entanglement of the wires or even collapsing the chute), even the simple round canopy chutes that you use here (as i know from my own experience) have holes in them, makes the a bit steerable.

Don't know zilch about technical details, I'm sure RobertJ is right. What I like in this image is the stark light and the detail both in the model and in the terrains.

that's one small step for a mess 'o Booleans..;) I still think they're anything like 'primitives' in your capable hands..look forward to more..

Aye, your models are awesome, nearly unrivaled! YOu've inspired me quite a bit, I'm almost done with the Starfarer project. For some Mars background, check out out Kim Stanley Robinson's books, Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars. If you haven't already! They are the definitive works on the subject...
