Large payload landing test vehicle. Computer illustration of the saucer-shaped test vehicle for NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) project. This vehicle is designed to test landing technologies for future Mars missions. A balloon will lift the vehicle to high altitudes,where a rocket will take it even higher,to the top of the stratosphere,at several times the speed of sound. It will then test the effectiveness of an inflatable decelerator and a parachute at high altitudes and speeds | |
