Hypercone (spacecraft)
text:
A hypercone is a mechanism for atmospheric reentry deceleration proposed for use by future Mars landing missions. It is an inflatable structure combining characteristics of both heat shields and parachutes. The hypercone is intended to supplement other deceleration mechanisms, bridging a gap in capability between conventional heat shields and conventional parachutes or landing rockets. Mars' combination of thin atmospheric density and relatively large gravity makes it impossible for a convention
