The entry capsule GNC system is responsible for the attitude and orbit control during the EDL process of the entry capsule to ensure a safe landing on the surface of Mars. The flight phase division, system composition, scheme design and specific design for the EDL process of Tianwen 1 entry capsule GNC system are outlined in this paper. The actual flight results of the entry capsule GNC system during the EDL process are also provided.
