Reduction gear of planetary exploration for atmospheric entry capsule

摘要

PURPOSE: To lessen weight and volume by lessening a mechanism for releasing a parachute. ;CONSTITUTION: While a capsule 1 is formed in the center of the body 2 with an air intake port 3 extending back and forth therethrough, a rear opening of the air intake port 3 is closed with a cap 7. When the capsule 1 re-enters the atmospher, the cap 7 is released from a restricting force by air pressure coming from the air intake port 3. Further, a parachute 6 is drawn out of the capsule 1 to be opened by the cap 7 releasing energy.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1993,JPO&Japio
