I'll be back

[edit]

Sorry to just create a quick sentence and run. I'll be back to expand this soon. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:17, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can we use this or is it a copyvio?

It is a NASA video of the flight being reused by Space.com. It is public domain. I've uploaded these two segments and two more covering inflation and parachute deploy in a single file at File:Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator video of June 28, 2014, test flight.ogv.

Yay!! Thank you soooo much. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What happened after the parachute failure in 2015

[edit]

In the source they say in 2015 that they'll do another next year. - Did they, or was it cancelled ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:56, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NASA website talks about future test in 2016 - so presumably the project was cancelled - but was SAID-R considered a success that could be used on Mars (with a suitable parachute) - was the ballute used to deploy the supersonic parachute in 2014 considered a success or did it contribute to the parachute fails ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:27, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a new Feb 2016 source that still talks of a future supersonic test, after some smaller scale sounding rocket tests. - Rod57 (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which parachute design did they use in 2015 test

[edit]

NASA website says the project was also to test a ring-sail design - but was it tested on the 2nd/2015 flight or did they try a modified disk-sail ? - Rod57 (talk) 15:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How was structural design of SAID-R different from the 2022 LOFTID

[edit]

Did SAID-R perform well on both tests (despite the parachute fails) ? Have results been published ? What changes were made for the 2022 LOFTID project ? - Rod57 (talk) 01:16, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
