Karman Space Wins NASA Contract to Develop Parachute for 2028 Mars Mission

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has selected Karman Space & Defense to develop the parachute deployment system for the "Skyfall" mission to Mars, according to a report by Seeking Alpha.

The mission is linked to an expedition to Mars scheduled for 2028, and the contract pertains to its parachute deployment system.

No financial value for the contract was disclosed in the coverage reviewed by the platform, while the Orange County Business Journal and MarketWatch reported the same news.

Parachutes are an essential component of Mars landing systems, as they slow down the spacecraft before it reaches the surface. The contract represents an addition for a company operating in defense and space components.

What do these terms mean?

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL): A research center managed by NASA that develops spacecraft and space probes, including missions to Mars.

Parachute deployment system: The set of parts that open and secure the parachute at the appropriate moment during landing.

"Skyfall" mission: A Mars mission scheduled for 2028, with the new contract covering the development of its parachute system.
