Can this giant parachute survive Mars? 🪂
To prepare for landing the Rosalind Franklin rover, ESA launched a dummy descent module 30 km above Earth using a helium balloon. After a dramatic free fall, two massive parachutes deployed perfectly — including a record-breaking 35-meter-wide chute. This test proves we’re nearly ready for the toughest landing in the Solar System.
Landing on Mars isn’t easy. In just 6 minutes, the lander must slow down from 21,000 km/h to a soft touchdown. And this parachute system? It’s key to making that happen.

How will the planet get controlled and owned? Who gets what land! Whoever claims it first and sets up camp. It would be so cool, if one day, a genius that has yet to be born, figured a technology out, to terraform Mars, where Mars is able to naturally and quite readily and reliably fast forward the Terraforming process in only several centuries instead of Millennia!,it would be so incredible to see us in there, 50,0000, even 1 million years.

The name is nothing comercial… Spirit, Opportunity… etc.. ❤.
Just my opinion. I ❤ your jobs.😮😊
Gracias por está información de paracaídas en Marte gracias 😮😮😮❤❤❤
Migjtve missed it but you should explain how this works, and especially how working on Earth transfers to working on Mars as the atmospheres are completely different
More interested in the helium balloons. How high could such balloons raise material off the surface. At what altitude could it be picked up? thanks
Muy interesante. La traducción automática al castellano US, muy poco europea😂😂😂😂
ESA is truly impressive and need be known more for their achievements
ESA is doing great job I think. Keep up the good work!
Mars was cool billion years ago…
Okay the phone s*x voice has gotta stop just talk dude.
Meanwhile there's starving kids and other more important things that money could be spent on!!🤑🤬
هذا هوا مطلوب مزيد يريح نفس 😮😮😮😮😮😊😊
I'm quiet fine on Earth Thank you very much, Mars is not for me!!
Vielen Dank!
Felicidades a la agencia que lleva a cabo esta misión, no es facil!!….pero siempre me he preguntado,….si no hay atmósfera en Marte más que viento solar!, como estas pruebas en la tierra, pueden emparejarse con las condiciones es reales de Marte?…..sé que misiones anteriores a la primera no sale como lo esperado!!, como las misiones rusas por ejemplo, en un principio!! y que los datos y cálculos sirven para posteriores misiones, seria mucho mejor que todas las agencias sé unan y colaboren sin egoísmo con experiencia espacial y lo poco que se sabe del cosmo, al fin y al cabo, es el humano de la tierra que quiere ir en el futuro a otro planeta!!
