SpaceX Revealed New Dragon Landing Method Shocked NASA's Scientists... SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft is about to change its Landing Method? We’ve all seen the iconic sight—SpaceX’s Crew Dragon gently floating down under massive parachutes before splashing into the ocean. But what if one day, things don't go as smoothly as planned? Imagine instead—Crew Dragon firing its thrusters, slowing down in midair, and touching down with precision like something straight out of science fiction. Sounds futuristic? Well, this once-abandoned concept of "propulsive landings on Dragon" is making a comeback. With growing concerns over parachute reliability in spaceflight, SpaceX is exploring a way to make landings even safer and more efficient. But could thruster landings truly replace the traditional splashdown? Get ready, because in today's Techmap episode, we're diving deep into the future of spacecraft landings—let’s get started!

In spacecraft operations, parachutes play a crucial role as they are used to slow down spacecraft significantly, reducing their speed from thousands of miles per hour to a safe landing speed. This is essential for ensuring the safety of astronauts and the integrity of the spacecraft during re-entry from deep space missions. However, in harsh landing conditions, on the contrary, the parachute becomes the most vulnerable part of the spacecraft, threatening the safety of the astronauts on board. No Parachutes! SpaceX Revealed New Dragon Landing Method Shocked NASA's Scientists... In the history of spaceflight, there are some notable incidents involving failed parachutes on spacecraft. For example, during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971, one of the three main parachutes collapsed during descent, but the other two parachutes functioned properly, preventing a catastrophic failure. The investigation concluded that the failure was likely caused by burning reaction control system fuel that was expelled during the descent, which damaged the parachute. === Subcribe TechMap: http://tinyurl.com/3z5ysrtf
