Scientific paper
Various recovery and land landing systems for spacecraft, including non-steerable aerodynamic decelerators (parachutes, ballute, and paraballute), steerable aerodynamic decelerators, deployable flexible wings, and lifting-body and winged vehicles, are considered. Materials used, design and performance characteristics, and deployment techniques are described. Non-steerable decelerators are applicable to vertical descent modes. The Space Shuttle booster recovery system and Viking Mars landing system both use parachutes. Lifting-body and winged vehicles do not require special recovery systems. Lifting-body vehicle characteristics, including the use of skirt jet landing decelerators, are described. The Space Shuttle orbiter will have large aerodynamic wings. Its re-entry and landing profile is described.
