NASA, Boeing Complete Series of Starliner Parachute Tests

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

NASA and #boeing have completed Starliner’s last parachute balloon-drop test designed to strengthen the spacecraft’s landing system ahead of crewed flights to and from the International Space Station.

The tests, developed by Boeing and #nasa, used six balloon-drop tests of a Starliner test article to gather supplemental performance data on the spacecraft’s parachutes and landing system. Each drop test focused on a different set of adverse conditions and used pre-flown parachutes to evaluate reusability margins for future missions.

Starliner will be the first American-made orbital crew capsule to land on land. The spacecraft uses a series of parachutes and airbags that deploy at specific altitudes allowing Starliner to touch down gently in the desert of the western United States. #nasa also will use the data gathered from the parachute testing to model Starliner parachute performance in different mission scenarios.
