NASA continues to assess Solar Sail system progress following deployment
Write a comment
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 23, 2024
NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System is advancing through post-deployment testing, with mission operators carefully reviewing data to evaluate the performance of the spacecraft's composite booms. Following the successful deployment of both the booms and solar sail, the spacecraft continues to experience slow tumbling in orbit due to the deactivation of its attitude control system.

A micro-scale look at how parachute textiles act under stress
Write a comment
Urbana IL (SPX) Oct 22, 2024
Parachutes have many applications, decelerating everything from skydivers to supersonic-speed scientific payloads. Regardless of what a parachute is slowing down, two things remain constant: the parachute must withstand large amounts of force, and it is crucial to ensuring the safety of whatever it's carrying. To choose parachute materials that do their jobs effectively, it's important to fully
