Full Episode description

How do you slow down a spacecraft that is speeding along at 25,000mph? Bounce it off the atmosphere. But at 325mph that’s still too fast. So, you add parachutes, eleven of them to be exact. The amount of specific timing and engineering to pull this slowdown off is a bit mindboggling. Take a listen to Julie Wolfson, Senior Staff Systems Engineer at Lockheed Martin and the Orion’s Risk Manager, who explains just exactly how it’s done. This episode is a must listen for all space enthusiasts!
