 Human space flight will enable astronauts to continue orbiting Earth, return to the moon and then journey on to Mars bringing together science, technology and human innovation. Crew safety is paramount in the return of human spaceflight launches from Florida’s Space Coast, and the latest round of parachute testing is providing valuable data to help industry partners and NASA return our astronauts safely. Explore Engineering Design Challenges for landing spacecraft safely.
