NASA’s Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator, or LOFTID, arrives by cargo truck at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Aug. 15, 2022. The technology demonstration mission will demonstrate inflatable heat shield technology that uses aerodynamic drag to slow down spacecraft in the most mass-efficient way. This technology could enable a variety of proposed NASA missions to destinations such as Mars, Venus, and Titan, as well as returning heavier payloads from low-Earth orbit. LOFTID is a rideshare launching with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NO…
