What is Aerocapture?
Flight engineers have long dreamed of using a planet's atmosphere to secure a satellite's orbit, but it requires precise coordination of control systems, thermal management, and orbital mechanics.
Inversion and NASA
Inversion, a California startup, has signed a contract with NASA to make this a reality. This contract is an important step in developing aerocapture technology.
Future Applications
Aerocapture technology has significant potential for future space missions. This technology can make it more efficient and economical for spacecraft to enter orbit around planets.
