Penetration depth of the lander as a function of the impact angle, the material friction, and the gravity for a 30 cm bed. The line types represent the frictional properties of the granular bed, and the symbols and colors represent the different gravity fields as indicated at the bottom. MASCOT lands on its back corner first in these simulations. Stochasticity due to computational noise could lead to changes in the penetration depth of up to a few centimeters.
