Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: On March 6, 2017, NASA launched its Technology Educational Satellite-5 (TechEdSat-5) from the International Space Station into low-Earth orbit to demonstrate a critical technology that may allow safe return of science payloads to Earth from space. The technology, called Exo-Brake, is a tension-based, flexible braking device resembling a cross-shaped parachute that opens from the rear of the small satellite to increase the drag. This de-orbit device tests a hybrid system of mechanical struts and flexible cord with a control system that warps the Exo-Brake. This allows engineers to guide the spacecraft to a desired entry point without the use of fuel, enabling accurate landing for future payload return missions. Learn more: http://go.nasa.gov/2mUhNN1
