What does it take to safely land a fragile payload on the Martian surface? Build a parachute and learn eggs-actly how one works: With some string, plastic wrap, tape, and other materials, members of AeroAstro’s American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics student chapter will help you build your own mini-parachute and tell you what's necessary for a soft landing in Martian gravity (.38 of earth's). Then, you’ll attach it to an egg and drop it off a balcony in AeroAstro’s Hangar to see if your ‘chute can deliver the egg to a landing from two stories high without it cracking up!
