The ADEPT architecture represents a completely new approach for entry vehicle design using a high-performance carbon fabric to serve as the primary drag surface of the mechanically deployed decelerator and to protect the payload from hypersonic aerothermal heating during entry. The initial system-level development of the nano-ADEPT architecture will culminate in the launch of a 0.7-m deployed diameter ADEPT sounding rocket flight experiment. The SR-1 sounding rocket flight experiment is a critical milestone in the technology maturation plan for ADEPT and will generate performance data on in-space deployment and aerodynamic stability.
