Summary

Description
English: Video footage of the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) test flight on June 28, 2014. Four segments include (1) the carrier balloon launch from the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii; (2) separation of LDSD from the balloon and firing of its solid rocket motor; (3) inflation of the Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (SIAD) on LDSD; and (4) deployment of LDSD's supersonic parachute.
The rocket-powered, saucer-shaped landing technology test vehicle was dropped from the balloon at approximately 120,000 feet (37,000 m) and then propelled by a solid rocket motor to Mach 4 to test two new atmospheric decelerator technologies at full scale. The technologies, including an inflatable drag device and large parachute, are being designed and tested to significantly improve our entry, descent and landing capabilities at Mars.
