they were planning to use the planet as a gravity slingshot to launch the ship to get to an area and build a phasegate. During the slingshot they would scan for the Degasi, if they found them alive then the Aurora would most likely sent down some kind of small shuttle, since the Aurora looks like it can't land. So they did have some plan to be on the planet but they didn't plan that they would crash and everyone would land on the planet. Infact, logically if they found the Degasi they would send people who have a high enough rank to use lethal weapons
