The Launch Lounge at Langley: Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID)



Welcome to the Launch Lounge at NASA’s Langley Research Center! NASA Langley’s Angelique Herring sat down with Hillary Blakeley, Inflation System Lead for LOFTID, and Anjie Emmet, an aerospace engineer, to talk all things LOFTID and what to expect as we prepare for launch.

Watch to learn more about this tech demonstration that could one day be used to land heavy payloads–such as crewed spacecraft, robotic explorers, and rocket components–at planetary destinations like Mars, Venus, Titan, and beyond!
