Trainers lower the bar for female athletes resulting in bad eccentric strength, which in turn makes them bad decelerators and greatly increases potential for an ACL injury. (sportstarsmag.com)
During the test, a large saucer - shaped disk carrying an inflatable inner tube - shaped decelerator and parachute system will be carried to an altitude of 120,000 feet by a giant balloon. (sciencedaily.com)
The project is developing a new 100 - foot - wide (30.5 m) parachute, along with two balloonlike devices called Supersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators (SIADs). (space.com)
