MarsAeroshell:

Path: AerospaceUtils/ComponentModels

% CAD vertices and faces for a Mars aeroshell for entry
 It is based on Viking which is nominally a 70 degree cone with a 
 spherical tip. The aeroshell will be symmetric about the z-axis.
 You can change the angle via alpha.

 Type MarsAeroshell for a demo.
