Vollebak aims for the stars again with NASA parachute jacket
13/11/2024
UK-based outdoor brand Vollebak has created what it describes as “the most advanced piece of clothing”, built from NASA’s space parachutes and aerogel heat shields.
The outside of the Martian Aerogel Jacket is built from the same material as the hypersonic space parachutes that slowed the Perserverance Rover from 20,000kmph to just 320kmph in a matter of seconds during its landing on Mars.
