More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - NASA’s Adaptable Deployable Entry Placement Technology, or ADEPT, is a foldable device that opens to make a round, rigid heat shield, called an aeroshell. This game-changing technology could squeeze a heat shield into a rocket with a diameter larger than the rocket itself. The design may someday deliver much larger payloads to planetary surfaces than is currently possible. Please rate and comment, thanks! Credit: NASA Ames Research Center
