description | Disclosed is a spacecraft carrying a number of pods, each containing an aircraft that has been folded to fit in the pod. Each aircraft has a vertical stabilizer and outboard wing-portions that fold around fore-and-aft axes. Each aircraft also has a fuselage that folds around a lateral axis. The spacecraft releases one or more of the pods into an atmosphere. Each of the pods is configured with an ablative heat shield and parachutes to protect its aircraft when the pod descends through the atmosphere. The pod releases its aircraft at a desired altitude or location, and the aircraft unfolds while free-falling. The aircraft then acquires and follows a flight path, and activates scientific experiments and instruments that it carries. The aircraft relays results and readings from the experiments and instruments to the spacecraft, which in turn relays the results and readings to a mission command center. |
