Last year, our LOFTID inflatable heat shield came screaming back from space at 18,000+ mph, reaching temps of nearly 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit before gently splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Find out what we learned from this successful tech demo: go.nasa.gov/3N3RnTm

Huge congratulations to @NASA @ulalaunch @AirborneSysNA for an amazing demonstration of #LOFTID and opening a new realm of exploration opportunities

The LOFTID team successfully retrieved the mission’s ejectable data module from the Pacific Ocean on Thursday morning, which holds a backup copy of the data recorded during the demonstration. The recovery vessel will now make its way back to port. More: blogs.nasa.gov/jpss-2/2022/1…

The ejector seats that fire through the floor

Some aircraft from the early jet age proved too dangerous for normal ejector seats. The solution? Seats which fired through the cockpit floor.

#asknasa Have you considered visiting the components of the EDL system that brought the rover to the surface? Are they too far from the rover?

Great looking drag parachute!

They've always been complex.
Wayne Hale@waynehale4 Feb 2022
Replying to @sturmf1 @genejm29
Parachutes, especially in clusters, operate in a more complex manner than we understood just a few years ago. Serious continuing examination of in flight performance is warranted. Stay hungry as my old boss used to say - and said again today.

LOFTID's getting pumped for launch! Check out this time-lapse of the final inflation test for LOFTID, an inflatable heatshield that will help land humans on Mars. The inflation system is designed to slowly expand before it reenters Earth’s atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/3KR9OIe

Why use an old MSL animation of the old parachute and not the actual @NASAPersevere parachute video inflating on Mars!

Landing on Mars is no easy feat. For my landing, I had the help of temperature & pressure sensors that collected data about entry & landing conditions. Engineer Alex Scammell can tell you more about this important piece that helped me land safely. go.nasa.gov/39ynWp0

This is great work, should caution that this is still only partial inflation of a parachute, as an industry we still have much work left to simulate deployment and full inflation! Big difficulty is that the structure is very thin, flow is very fast, and they influence each other.

@DrChrisCombs19 Nov 2021
Superb computational fluid dynamics visualization of supersonic parachute deployment at ~Mach 2 from @NASA_Supercomp These simulations are wildly complex because the deformation of the parachute structure has to be simulated as well as the fluid dynamics xitter.cf/NASA_Supercomp/status/…
