Airborne Systems’ Parachute is Now on Mars | How we got there and what’s next?

Hello Earthlings and Martian friends!
Our webinar last week was so popular, we are coming at you with a repeat! Please join us for the recorded webinar on the Mars parachute.
As you are aware, NASA has just landed the heaviest and most sophisticated rover, Perseverance, on the Red planet. Airborne Systems provided the parachute that went on an 8 month space excursion, before deploying and gently delivering Percy to the Mars surface safely.
There are many firsts in this mission, including the first powered flight vehicle to fly on Mars (Mars Helicopter Ingenuity), the first time Mars rocks and dirt will be stowed to return to Earth, and the first ever video footage of a landing on another planet. In this webinar, we will give you the details on the parachute for such a momentous moment in history.
This webinar will be hosted by Charles Lowry. Charles is the Mars 2020 Project Engineer who led all technical aspects of the Mars 2020 program at Airborne Systems, including design, test, and qualification of all hardware components. He has been with us for 8 years, and started on the Mars 2020 program in 2016.
Charles will:
  • Talk about the path and preparation leading up to this mission
  • Give a play by play of the mission up to this point
  • Discuss the future of Martian exploration and the role of aerodynamic decelerators
This is a recorded webinar. For any questions you have during the presentation, you can ask them via the Questions pane or the post-webinar survey, and we’ll get back to you as soon as ‘martian-ly’ possible! 😉

[June 18, 2019] 100 years ago, Leslie Irvin took a leap of faith, making the first intentional freefall jump in history on April 19, 1919. Two months later, on June 18, 1919, he officially formed the Irvin Air Chute Company, known today as Airborne Systems. Leslie Irvin created the most successful parachute company in the world.

Over the last century, Airborne Systems has strived to continue Leslie Irvin’s legacy of passion and innovation. We design, test, and manufacture parachutes for the armed forces for the United States and over 50 of our allied countries, as well as parachutes for military aircraft and human and robotic space exploration.  However, our success is not simply luck, it is due to the dedication of our employees. Our engineering team is constantly developing technology and new products for military and space applications. Our production team works tirelessly to

produce and ship the highest quality parachute products in the world. And our sales team travels the world demonstrating products and educating customers. We are a team of passionate individuals who are laser focused on the constantly evolving needs of our customers.

We are proud to celebrate 100 years as the number one parachute company in the world on June 18th, 2019. Not only is this a major milestone for Airborne Systems, but also for the skydiving and aerospace industries. Happy 100th anniversary, Airborne!
