SpaceX Crew Dragon Parachute Test
The SpaceX #CrewDragon spacecraft parachutes successfully deploy during the latest development test. This test simulated a pad abort, where the vehicle is tumbling at low altitude before parachute deploy, validating SpaceX?s parachute models and margins. As a part of NASA?s Commercial Crew Program, SpaceX has been developing and testing the Crew Dragon parachute system, which is comprised of two drogue parachutes and four main ring-sail parachutes?the same type of parachutes that have been commonly and successfully used for human spaceflight in the past.

Great to see how beautifully engineered every aspect of this tech is.
I know thar plans for powered landing superDraco engines was abandoned. But can they still be use if parachute fail ? and Crew Dragon can safe land using his rocket engines ?
This just totally reminded me about the spinning helicopter grandma ?? thank you im off to go look that up
How that possible tell. Me
When I grow up I wanna be a exoplanet hunter! (Hopefully NASA accepts me because that would be the dream! :D)
Darling, you're beautiful.
Vertical video in a horizontal format….
We need Kowalsky analysis
What if it rains heavily?
And shot in vertical video, how dumb!
you should put in the title that is a 3d simulation, we have realized from the beginning that this is 3D, maybe because we work on post production effects 😉
Are these the tests that are causing NASA greater concern than an aborted launch?
NASA LIVE
Imagine an animal that uses a similar system to parachutes to move. Something that lives in a gas planet with a thick atmosphere
Just need to solve the small problem of it blowing up on the launchpad.
