Testing a Flexible, Fabric-based Radar Antenna | NASA’s SkyFall Mars Helicopters

Testing a Flexible, Fabric-based Radar Antenna | NASA’s SkyFall Mars HelicoptersWhen NASA’s SkyFall helicopters take to the Martian skies, one of their tasks will be to hunt for frozen water—a critical resource for future astronauts—using ground-penetrating radar. For that radar to work, the rotorcraft will carry a flexible, fabric-based antenna that extends below the aircraft without interfering with landings or breaking at touchdown. This vide…
