Show Notes
NASAs Artemis two mission, a ten-day crewed test flight around the moon, relies on parachute tech tested at Arizonas Yuma Proving Ground. The parachutes, crucial for safe return, underwent years of developmental drops from 2011 to 2018. NASA has collaborated with Yuma since the 1960s for tests and training. The real test comes on re-entry, where the parachutes slow Orion from 20,000 mph to under 20 mph for a soft ocean splashdown. Yumas testing ensures safer deep-space adventures for humanitys next moonshot.
