LOFTID Sixty-Second Science: Heat Shields

In order to slow down spacecraft quickly and safely as they land, we get some help from an unexpected source: the planet’s atmosphere!

To use the air around a planet to our advantage, we use heat shields, which have an air-resistant design.

Learn more about heat shields, like LOFTID, and how they may help us land on Mars!
