Deployable decelerator |
摘要 |
A transport vehicle for traveling in a low-pressure environment structure is provided. The transport vehicle may include a deployable decelerator provided on the transport vehicle and configured to deploy from the transport vehicle to decrease a distance between the transport vehicle and the low-pressure environment structure. When the decelerator is deployed the decelerator is configured to increase drag forces opposing a direction of motion of the transport vehicle and decelerate the transport vehicle. |

1. A transport vehicle for traveling in a low-pressure environment structure, comprising:
a deployable decelerator provided on the transport vehicle and configured to deploy from the transport vehicle to decrease a distance between the transport vehicle and the low-pressure environment structure, wherein the deployable decelerator comprises an airbag that is configured to deploy from a frontal area of the transport vehicle outward in a direction toward the low-pressure environment structure, and when the decelerator is deployed the decelerator is configured to increase drag forces opposing a direction of motion of the transport vehicle and decelerate the transport vehicle. |
