Space/Science » in reply to The usefullness of airbags is inversely proportionnal to the lander's mass

The MERs are pretty much at the outer limits of the technology

It took some doing to pack them into the landers, and there was even more hassle getting the chutes and the airbags to work properly. Any larger or heavier, and the airbag landing system wouldn't have worked at all.
