Congrats to @blueorigin and @AirborneSysNA on another successful parachute landing-

[ADS @ADS_TC]

@SpaceAbhi Pioneer made many of the Viking style parachutes that landed rovers on Mars. The Mars 2020 parachute was made by @AirborneSysNA, the same company that make the main parachutes for SpaceX.

Congratulations to @NASA_Technology @ulalaunch and @AirborneSysNA on a fantastic demonstration mission and a super exciting technology

[NASA Technology @NASA_Technology]

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: https://t.co/7LyWreGoIa

@RocketLab Is it lighter because you don't plan to try mid air capture again @RocketLab ?

[ADS @ADS_TC]

@AstroPeggy Can you feel the parachutes disreefing, and inflating to the next stage?

[ADS @ADS_TC]

@OriolCG These are two key design parameters for the parachute engineer!
We need a stable but "draggy" shape.

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

[NASA Technology @NASA_Technology]

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: https://t.co/C6t3zQy8rP

Great story by @ParachuteMuseum about an important event in parachute and aviation history.

Great onboard views of the parachute system @AirborneSysNA @BoeingSpace

POV: You're headed back to Earth 🌎 from space on #Starliner through the atmosphere's fiery 🔥 plasma barrier. (🔊sound on!)

Nose down landing!

@82ndABNDiv depends how fast you want to hit the ground!

#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?

[ADS @ADS_TC]

@exploreplanets @NASAPersevere Phew, the @AirborneSysNA parachute worked

[ADS @ADS_TC]

Great looking drag parachute!

[ADS @ADS_TC]

They've always been complex.

[Wayne Hale @waynehale]

@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.
