Foldable Heat Shield Could Help NASA Deliver Much Bigger Cargo to Deep Space

NASA’s Adaptable Deployable Entry Placement Technology, or ADEPT, is a foldable device that opens to make a round, rigid heat shield, called an aeroshell. This game-changing technology could squeeze a heat shield into a rocket with a diameter larger than the rocket itself. The design may someday deliver much larger payloads to planetary surfaces than is currently possible. Video credit: NASA/Ames Research Center Learn more: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/ames/exp...
