Decelerating Spacecraft: Insights from a NASA Technologist
Spacecraft Deceleration Mechanisms Explored: Insights from a NASA Technologist
Over the years, the engineering community has leaned towards established methods like rigid heat shields and retropropulsion for spacecraft deceleration. Today, NASA is embarking on a pioneering journey by testing an innovative inflatable heat shield technology. This cutting-edge approach holds the potential to revolutionize payload capacities for missions to worlds with atmospheres.
Scheduled for launch on November 1st, in tandem with NOAA’s JPSS-2 mission, is the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID). Aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, LOFTID aims to validate the heat shield's remarkable capacity to effectively slow down and endure the demanding entry into an atmosphere.
