2024年10月11日 · In Parachute Design students will design and test parachute landing systems to successfully land a probe on target. After testing, students can optimize their parachutes by experimenting with different materials and shapes for their parachute designs.
A Canopy of Confidence: Orion’s Parachutes - NASA
2012年9月7日 · As NASA continues to build the Orion spacecraft and head toward its first unmanned test flight in 2014, it will once again descend under parachutes to a water landing. But even though the orange and white chutes remain, their …
Orion Parachutes - NASA
2024年11月4日 · NASA experts discuss one of the most critical components of returning to Earth from space: the parachute system. Take a deep dive into how these parachutes were engineered and tested to bring NASA's Orion spacecraft and crewmembers back home safely.
Parachute deployment systems based on forced ejection, extraction using a drogue parachute, and extraction using a rocket motor were studied. Equations which approximate the linear dynamics of deploy-
Simulating Supersonic Parachute Inflation for Future Mars Landings
Perseverance’s supersonic parachute, 65-feet in diameter and only three thousandths of an inch thick, fully opened in less than half a second, undergoing aerodynamic forces of over 30 thousand pounds.
Testing Proves Its Worth With Successful Mars Parachute …
2021年2月25日 · On Sept. 7, NASA’s ASPIRE project broke a record when its rocket-launched parachute deployed in 4-10ths of a second—the fastest inflation of this size chute in history. The NASA team tested the parachute three times in Mars-relevant conditions, using Black Brant IX sounding rockets.
NASA Team Eyes Better Parachute Systems for Mars Missions
2022年7月27日 · One of the great challenges of Mars missions is designing a parachute capable of providing a soft landing. Researchers at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, are searching for and testing sensors to aid parachute designers.
Highly nonlinear dynamics, including structural and fluid physics are included in the parachute inflation simulation. This simulation aims to match the peak inflation forces during ASPIRE’s first flight test. Unsteady view of the parachute FSI from the attachment point (hyperwall).
