| Abstract | experimental investigation was made to determine impact water pressures, accelerations, and landing dynamics of a 1/4-scale model of the command module of the Apollo spacecraft with a deployed heat shield for impact attenuation. The landing system consisted of four vertically oriented hydraulic struts and six horizontally mounted strain straps. A scaled-stiffness aft heat shield was used on the model to simulate the struc- tural deflections of the full-scale heat shield. Landings were made at simulated vertical parachute-letdown velocities of approximately 30 ft/sec (9.1 m/sec) full scale. Hori- zontal velocities from |
