NASA successfully tested the Orion spacecraft’s parachute jettison system over the Arizona desert — a crucial step to ensure future astronauts return safely from deep-space missions. In this test, a prototype capsule was released from an aircraft to verify that the forward bay cover could separate cleanly and allow the parachutes to deploy exactly as designed. 🛸✨ This system protects the capsule during re-entry and makes a safe landing possible — one more milestone toward upcoming Artemis missi

The little details matter. Parachute #riggers inspect, test, and pack parachutes, their extraction and release systems, and all the associated components of the parachute system. June 2-3, US Army Airborne School, Fort Benning will host the first Rigger of the Year competition! Get ready to see who is the best Rigger on Fort Benning. | U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence

🎥 Check this out! A series of clips from different angles and at different speeds showing parachute extraction tests using a NASA/JPL test rig powered by compressed air. The lid of the parachute assembly is pulled along a suspended cable at high speed while the end of the assembly is fixed to a wall. When the release mechanism is activated, the parachute bag is pulled away from the parachute at the target speed, mimicking the extraction as it will be on Mars. At the highest speeds, the tests en

🚀 NASA Tests Orion Spacecraft Parachute Jettison Over Arizona! 🌌 Exciting news from NASA! The Orion spacecraft recently completed a major parachute test at the U.S. Army’s Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. For the first time, the forward bay cover was safely jettisoned, and both it and the test crew module landed safely on the ground. This test is a huge step toward ensuring safe re-entry for astronauts on future Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond. 🌙✨ Credit: NASA Johnson #NASA #OrionSpace

NASA carrying out a parachute jettison test for the Orion spacecraft over Arizona. During the test, a mock Orion capsule is dropped from an aircraft, the forward bay cover is released, and the parachutes deploy mid-air—just like they would during a real return to Earth. Why it matters 👇 Orion is the spacecraft that will carry astronauts on Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond. Its parachute system is critical for a safe splashdown, and tests like this help engineers confirm everything works

Ground extraction test procedures confirm the ability of a rocket to successfully extract a packed parachute out of an aircraft. Ever wonder what this looks like? In a continued effort to ensure safety in our aircraft, Sling and BRS Aerospace have collaborated to integrate their parachute systems in Sling TSi and Sling High Wing aircraft models.

Haiki - History as i know it. on Instagram: "LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System) is a military airlift technique developed during the Vietnam War (1967) for delivering heavy cargo when landing isn’t possible. A cargo plane sometimes descends to just 2 meters above the ground, deploys an extraction parachute, and the wind force yanks the payload —sometimes even tanks—out of the aircraft. C-130 is have done many cool stunts, it even landed on an Aircraft carrier. I have written A FREE
