NASA Ames Completes Successful Heat Shield Testing for Future Mars Exploration Vehicles

Описание к видео NASA Ames Completes Successful Heat Shield Testing for Future Mars Exploration Vehicles

As NASA missions to Mars progress with science and complex human exploration missions, spacecraft will require larger heat shields to protect against the extreme heat of entering a planet's atmosphere and decelerating at a safe altitude in the thin Martian atmosphere.
NASA’s Adaptive Deployable Entry and Placement Technology (ADEPT) is one solution. ADEPT is a mechanically-deployable heat shield concept using carbon fabric: a flexible heat shield that expands to “open” like an umbrella.
