Getting to Know Meteors Better

Illustration - Asteroids pass close to Earth in this illustration. NASA is partnering with Berkeley Lab to study meteorite materials to better understand how meteors fracture as they enter Earth’s atmosphere and assess the risks they pose. (Credit: ESA/P.Carril)

A New Paradigm in Parachute Design

The Heat is On

Photo - The Mars Science Laboratory, which landed the Curiosity rover on MARS, featured the largest heat shield (the underside is shown here)—at 14 feet 9 inches in diameter—to enter a planet’s atmosphere. NASA is now engaging in R&D for even larger heat shields made of flexible, foldable material that can open up like an umbrella to protect spacecraft during atmospheric entry.
