nine times, with systems that made use of cutting-edge parachutes, massive airbags, and jetpacks to set spacecraft safely on the surface.According to the space agency, NASA is looking at alternatives for slowing a spacecraft’s high-speed descent. The team is developing an 'experimental lander design called SHIELD .
The team at NASA is even looking at the possibility of landing several of these at different difficult-to-access locations to build a network.The team tested the SHEILD concept last August with the full-size prototype of SHIELD’s collapsible attenuator loaded on a drop tower for evaluating its efficiency. The prototype had a smartphone, a radio, and an accelerometer to simulate the electronics a spacecraft would carry.
