We are now expanding our modeling to the reefed\u00a0stages of the parachute (the parachute has two reefed stages that are far more challenging to\u00a0model) and the cluster of two and three parachutes, which are also far more challenging than a\u00a0single parachute. Furthermore, we are expanding our modeling to the \u201cdrogue\u201d parachutes, which\u00a0are smaller parachutes deployed in the earlier stages of the spacecraft\u2019s descent. These are geometrically\u00a0very different parachutes and involve different computational challenges. The more\u00a0challenges we address, the more we prove that we can successfully do computer-based parachute\u00a0performance analysis and design, the more stages of the parachute we are asked by NASA to study.\u00a0While this is a major effort, we will continue to be proud of making significant direct contributions\u00a0to a very visible space program that involves much international collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Orion-spacecraft.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"160\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/en\/space\/two-parachute-cluster\" title=\"Two-Parachute Cluster\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2p_cluster-150x150.png\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Two-Parachute Cluster\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2p_cluster-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/2p_cluster-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/en\/space\/parachute-disreefing\" title=\"Parachute Disreefing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sky2nd-L-150x150.png\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Parachute Disreefing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sky2nd-L-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/sky2nd-L-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/en\/space\/three-parachute-cluster\" title=\"Three-Parachute Cluster\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/3p_cluster-1-150x150.png\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Three-Parachute Cluster\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/3p_cluster-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/3p_cluster-1-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/en\/space\/nasa-ringsail-parachute-detail\" title=\"NASA Ringsail Parachute (Detail)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/4g_near-150x150.png\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"NASA Ringsail Parachute (Detail)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/4g_near-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/4g_near-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/en\/space\/new-parachutes-for-the-nasa-orion-spacecraft\" title=\"New Parachutes for the NASA Orion Spacecraft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pa-swing-wp-150x150.png\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"New Parachutes for the NASA Orion Spacecraft\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pa-swing-wp-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/pa-swing-wp-144x144.png 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/en\/space\/nasa-ringsail-parachute\" title=\"NASA Ringsail Parachute\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/m5-150x150.png\" class=\"lcp_thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"NASA Ringsail Parachute\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/m5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/m5-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/m5-144x144.png 144w, https:\/\/www.jp.tafsm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/m5.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are now actively participating in the performance analysis and design of the parachutes to\u00a0be used with the Orion Spacecraft.
