Mission Mars: Parachute test failure threat to launch date - 92 News HD Plus

SWEDEN – A European-Russian effort to land on Mars has been hit by another parachute failure, during a drop test in Sweden.

The rover and the Russian Kazachok lander will be encapsulated in a carrier module during their six-minute journey down to the surface. However, the test article crashed into the ground at high speed. Preliminary analysis shows that the initial steps in the parachute’s deployment were carried out correctly. However, specialists spotted radial tears in the canopy of the parachute prior to its inflation.The same tearing problem was seen on a previous test at the Swedish Space Corporation’s Esrange site, on 28 May.

“We have two remaining test windows. One is in November, the other is in February next year. If those tests are okay then we are on for a flight in July. However, if one of them was to fail, we would not take the risk. Our mission success is the first priority.” But Nico Dettmann emphasised that there was more involved in such a decision than favourable planetary alignment. “This doesn’t happen automatically. There are a number of programmatic questions to be clarified with the main stakeholders.
