How do spacecraft slow down? Rigid heat shields and retropropulsion have been the favorites of engineers for years Now NASA is testing a new inflatable heat shield technology that could allow us to carry even larger payloads to worlds with atmospheres: https://www.nasa.gov/loftid
Launching on Nov. 1 aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket along with NOAA's JPSS-2 mission, the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator, or LOFTID, will demonstrate the heat shield's ability to slow down and survive atmospheric entry: https://go.nasa.gov/3N7yzBG
