A validated computational fluid-structure interaction method applied to supersonic parachute inflation is extended to consider a unique, parallel self-contact algorithm, porosity interface conditions on the canopy, improved flow field sampling procedures for obtaining quality loading on the parachute canopy, adaptive mesh refinement, and improved treatment of thin geometries in an immersed boundary framework. These extensions are discussed in detail and demonstrated individually on test problems. Finally, the developments are brought together for demonstration on a sub-scale MSL parachute geometry.

The second Interferometry Program Experiment (IPEX-2) is a technology demonstration precursor to the Space Interferometry Mission, a 10-meter baseline space-based interferometer scheduled for launch in 2005.
By segmenting and folding the primary mirror, quite large telescopes can be packed into the nose cone of a rocket.
The objective of the experiment was to develop a large, low cost inflatable antenna structure and demonstrate its mechanical performance in the space environment.
The Mars Pathfinder Program is a NASA Discovery Mission led by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to launch and place a small planetary Rover for exploration of the Martian surface.
