Credit: NASA NASA's Inflatable Moderator Flight Test in Low Earth Orbit, or LOFTID, demonstrates an aerodynamic envelope — a type of heat shield — for reentry. For planets with an atmosphere, one of the challenges NASA faces is how to get [down] heavy payloads (experimental results, equipment, and people), as today's rigid aerodynamic shells are limited by the size of the rocket shroud. One solution is an inflatable aerodynamic shell that can be deployed on a scale much larger than the shell. This technology enables many of NASA's proposed missions to planets such as Mars, Venus, Titan, and return to Earth. When a spacecraft enters the atmosphere, aerodynamic forces act on it. In particular, aerodynamic drag helps slow it down by converting kinetic energy into heat. The use of atmospheric drag is the most economical method of slowing down a spacecraft. The atmosphere of Mars is much less dense than Earth's and presents a major problem for aerodynamic braking. The atmosphere is dense enough to provide some drag, but too thin to slow a spacecraft as effectively as it would in Earth's atmosphere. The large deployable LOFTID aerodynamic shell - an inflatable structure protected by a flexible heat shield - will act as a giant brake as it passes through the Martian atmosphere. A large aerodynamic shell generates more drag than a smaller, traditional rigid aerodynamic shell. It begins to slow down in the upper atmosphere, which allows the spacecraft to slow down earlier, at higher altitudes, while experiencing less intense heating. LOFTID has demonstrated a large aerodynamic shell 6 meters (about 20 feet) in diameter that decelerates from low Earth orbit to test this technology under conditions suitable for many potential applications. The advantages of using the inflatable moderator design for various space missions are as follows: — return from low Earth orbit; free flight, materials made in space [scale from 3 to 6 meters]; — the possible descent mass from the International Space Station will be greater than is currently possible [scale from 8 to 12 meters]; - cheaper access to space due to savings on the launch vehicle [scale 12 meters]. Inflatable moderator technology is scalable for both manned and large robotic missions to Mars. The LOFTID return vehicle was launched on November 10, 2022 aboard United Launch Alliance's Atlas V as an additional payload from the Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2), a polar-orbiting meteorological satellite. After JPSS-2 reached orbit, LOFTID was placed on an reentry trajectory from low Earth orbit to demonstrate the ability of the inflatable aerodynamic envelope and heat shield to slow down and withstand reentry. Inflatable Moderator Flight Test (LOFTID) conducted by NASA in low Earth orbit. The prototype successfully splashed down approximately 111 minutes after being launched by a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 401 launch vehicle from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.

Credit: NASA/United Launch Alliance NASA and United Launch Alliance dedicated the LOFTID mission to Bernard Cutter, ULA's Advanced Programs Manager, who passed away in August 2020. He was not only a supporter of cheaper access to space, but also a supporter of technologies that could make it a reality. A ULA engineer has shown great interest in an inflatable heat shield technology that could allow for the safe return of Vulcan rocket engines as part of the ULA reuse program, as well as landing on Mars of large payloads needed for crewed missions. He was instrumental in advancing ULA reuse technology and developing a test plan for the system on the Atlas V rocket. The LOFTID project is part of NASA's Space Technology Administration technology demonstration mission program. The project is managed by the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, with contributions from the Ames, Marshall and Armstrong Centers. Several US small businesses have contributed to the hardware. The demonstration was conducted in partnership with United Launch Alliance. Dear Reader, What kind of car do you drive? Because pretty soon you might not be able to fill up at your local station. Seriously… [Go live on-the-scene]( to the first gas station in America to no longer offer gasoline. You read that correctly — no more gasoline. Ever. BP, Shell, Chevron… they’ve realized they can’t solve this gas crisis. So they’re abandoning ship and switching over their businesses. In this video, you’ll discover how this development… could spread to as many as 500,000 fueling stations throughout the country. Including your hometown and state.
