LDSD retrieval, June 28, 2014. Creator: NASA
LDSD retrieval, June 28, 2014. NASAs Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) is lifted aboard the Kahana recovery vessel. The LDSD launch tested technologies for landing large payloads on Mars. During the engineering flight, the saucer-shaped first " flown" test vehicle climbed to over 180, 000 feet (about 55, 000 meters) in altitude and went as fast as four times the speed of sound. NASAs Space Technology Mission Directorate funded the LDSD mission, a cooperative effort led by NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment of LDSD retrieval on June 28,2014. The image showcases NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) being lifted aboard the Kahana recovery vessel. This groundbreaking mission aimed to test technologies for landing large payloads on Mars. During the engineering flight, the saucer-shaped first "flown" test vehicle reached an astonishing altitude of over 180,000 feet (approximately 55,000 meters) and achieved speeds four times that of sound. It was a remarkable demonstration of cutting-edge supersonic capabilities. Funded by NASAs Space Technology Mission Directorate, this collaborative effort was led by NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The photograph highlights the dedication and expertise of individuals involved in space exploration as they work together to push boundaries and advance scientific knowledge. The serene backdrop of the Pacific Ocean adds a sense of tranquility to this scene filled with innovation and research. A crane delicately maneuvers the LDSD onto the deck while remote control technology ensures precision during retrieval. This print is not just a visual representation but also a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of understanding our universe. It serves as a reminder that through determination and collaboration, we can overcome challenges and reach new frontiers in space travel and exploration.
