  1. Airborne Systems’ Parachutes Deliver Safe Splashdown of NASA’s Artemis II Crew
    Apr 15, 2026 · original
    Santa Ana, California [Apr 13, 2026] Airborne Systems proudly recognizes its role in the successful return of NASA’s Artemis II mission, following Friday’s historic splashdown of the Orion capsule off the San Diego coast, returning astronauts to Earth after the first trip to the moon in over fifty years. As Orion completed its high-speed re-entry from lunar flight, the parachute system deployed in the final landing stage, safely decelerating the crew module for splashdown. The parachute system, comprised of eleven parachutes, is initiated at approximately 25,000 feet with the ejection of the Forward Bay Cover Parachutes. Drogue deployment followed at approximately 22,000 feet, with the operation culminating in the three pilot parachutes extracting three main parachutes near 6,000 feet, reducing splashdown velocity to approximately 20 mph. The successful splashdown marks another milestone
  2. The First Modern Static Line Reserve Parachute Certified to FAA TSO-C23f
    Feb 2, 2026 · original
    Airborne Systems has successfully certified the first modern static line reserve parachute to FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO-C23f), marking a significant milestone in parachute safety and design innovation. The Spartan Reserve parachute represents a notable advancement from legacy reserve systems, optimizing construction methods and canopy geometry to meet FAA TSO-C23f requirements. For decades, static line reserve parachutes have relied on designs that have seen minimal innovation. This FAA TSO-C23f new certification standard reflects today’s engineering capabilities, operational demands, and safety expectations. The Spartan Reserve is now available for integration and evaluation. Technical details and purchase information can be provided upon request.

  6. USMC Multi-Mission Parachute Course
    Nov 20, 2022 · original
    ASNA (Airborne Systems North America) graduated the first 8 Military Free Fall Jumpers on the new USMC PS-2 Parachute designed and manufactured by Airborne Systems. The graduating of these jumpers along with the assessment of the United States Special Operations Command serves as the Validation and Certification for ASNA to begin the full 44 student course starting in November. Four months ago, ASNA was awarded a 5-year IDIQ to train approximately 400 Marines each year on Basic Military Free Fall Techniques. To conduct this high-risk training ASNA has teamed with CRC (Crisis Response Company, LLC) and Airborne Support Group, LLC. CRC is responsible for providing the highly skilled instructor and rigging staff, while Airborne Support Group provides the aircraft. The 4 week course takes a Marine who has never conducted Military Free Fall training though an intense train up of ground classe
  7. A Spectacular Launch & Deployment
    Nov 18, 2022 · original
    Airborne congratulates the LaRC LOFTID and ULA teams on a spectacular launch and deployment of the HIA D (Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator) technology. This ambitious mission further demonstrated the viability and value of the HIAD technology and raised the TRL to help integrate this exciting and innovative deceleration technology into America’s space programs. Airborne is honored and proud to have supported LaRC in collaborating on the inflatable technology over the past decade, and for providing the parachute system that enabled the gentle LOFTID splashdown. We much appreciated the invitation to view the launch and track the mission progress, and look forward to further collaboration and the opportunity to integrate our technologies into fu ture missions and applications.

  8. Coming Down to Earth…Safely
    Sep 28, 2021 · original
    On Saturday, September 18, the four crewmembers of the SpaceX Inspiration4 capsule returned safely to earth. The ocean landing off the coast of Florida went smoothly and demonstrated the months (years) of preparation, the engineering and the swift orchestration of descent procedures. The controlled descent begins when the capsule is initially slowed upon reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. This aerodynamic drag could destabilize the capsule and make it uncomfortable for the crew. At that point, two small drogue parachutes are automatically deployed, which slow the descent a little more. However, their main purpose is to deploy four huge landing parachutes. In the final stage of descent, the capsule and landing parachutes drift with the prevailing wind, so these main parachutes are deployed at the lowest possible altitude in order to increase the accuracy of the capsule landing in the ta

  10. Touchdown! NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover Safely Lands on Red Planet
    Feb 24, 2021 · original
    Unless you’ve been living on a different planet, you may have already heard that NASA has just landed the heaviest and most sophisticated rover, Percy (OK, officially Perseverance), on the Red planet. What you may not have heard is that a hundred year old company in Southern California , just 50 miles south of NASA JPL, was responsible for designing and manufacturing the state-of-the-art parachute that safely decelerated Percy from supersonic speeds ready for the daring SkyCrane maneuver. Let’s talk about the fun stuff, parachute details, obviously. The Mars 2020 parachute is 70.5 feet (21.5 meters) in diameter, deploys about 240 seconds after atmospheric entry, at an altitude of about 7 miles (11 kilometers) and a velocity of about 940 mph (1,512 kph), which means the parachute was inflating at about Mach 1.75. To get the full stats on entry, descent, and landing (EDL), check out this a
