Mars Cube One (or MarCO) was a Mars flyby mission launched on 5 May 2018 alongside NASA's InSight Mars lander. [5] It consisted of two nanospacecraft, MarCO-A and MarCO-B, that provided real-time communications to Earth for InSight during its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on 26 November 2018 - when InSight was out of line of sight from the Earth.

The thrusters of the InSight lander dug pits during landing beneath it at its landing site.. For landers that are even heavier than the Curiosity rover (which required a 4.5 meter (15 feet) diameter aeroshell), engineers are developing a combination rigid-inflatable Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator that could be 8 meters (26 feet) in diameter.
Sky crane is a soft landing system used in the last part of the entry, descent and landing (EDL) sequence developed by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory for its two largest Mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance. While previous rovers used airbags for landing, both Curiosity and Perseverance were too heavy to be landed this way. Instead, a ...
Following a coast phase, Ship 30 reentered the atmosphere, performed a successful reentry despite forward flap damage, and executed a landing burn, splashing down precisely at its target in the Indian Ocean. A buoy camera captured Ship 30 exploding shortly after contact with the water. [9] 6 19 November 2024 22:00:00 [38] Block 1, B13: Block 1, S31
About 30 minutes prior to entry, the cruise stage and entry capsule separated. [4] When the capsule hit the atmosphere it decelerated from about 7.3 km/s to 0.4 km/s (16,330 mph to 900 mph) over three minutes. [4] As it descended the parachute opened to slow it down further, and soon after the heat shield was released. [4]
The biggest banks staged a broad Wall Street rebound in the third quarter, as optimism about a possible 'soft landing' and rate cuts from the Fed spurred dealmaking and trading.
