re: What's their EDL system?

Netlander and B2 have two EDL systems that are essentially identical. Heatshield, chute, big chute, airbags, no retro firing, bouncey bouncey bouncey. the specifics on details such as radar altimiters etc I dont know.

        Yeah, the failure of MPL could have been avoided if they used an entirely different landing system. - Robert Clark - 5/23/2004 9:12:10 PM

        Are you sure just the NASA airbags without the retrorockets would have exceeded the mass constraints? (n/t) - Robert Clark - 5/24/2004 2:51:05 AM
