Tuesday, June 2 in Hawaii it would take the second flight test apparatus LDSD (Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator). It fulfills NASA technology for future landings on Mars, with reference to RIA Novosti reported Ghhauto.ru.
Dvtcnt c ntv, as reported by Tass, the space agency said in that trial postponed for at least on the day.
« The height of waves does not allow carrying out safe transactions, – the report says NASA. – Another attempt to test the device will be held on Wednesday, June 3 not before 7:30 local time (20:30 MSK) ».

resembles a “flying saucer” from popular science fiction machine It must rise to a height of 37 kilometers from the Pacific missile base on the Hawaiian island of Kauai with the help of a hot air balloon. Then the rocket engine will provide “ease” supersonic acceleration, and rising to a height of 55 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, LDSD will decline by using inflatable “belt”, which is inflated at the beginning of the decline. Five hours after the start of the device should splash down in the Pacific Ocean with a new supersonic parachute.
The first test lander, which has the official name of “Aerodynamic inflatable retarder supersonic speed”, held June 28, 2014. They completed a partial success, since the final stage splashdown in the unit did not open the main parachute. The blow on the water “flying saucer” was seriously damaged.
disc-shaped device designed to deliver heavy loads to Mars. It is attached to the spacecraft, and must ensure its braking tenuous Martian atmosphere and soft-landed on the planet’s surface.
« This year, the test will focus on the work of the new supersonic parachute. We believe that it is perfectly designed and is ready to test, but it is to be tested in front of all », – he said on the eve of the test project manager Mark Adler. Experts note that the technology was assimilated by them will not only double the weight of the goods delivered to Mars in comparison with the present day, but also greatly enhance the accuracy of the landing of spacecraft to the Red Planet.
