Throttling, Descent and Landing of a Projectile Using Spin-Stabilization and Torque-Free Precession
This invention is a method for landing a projectile using solid rockets for a soft-landing onto the bottom surface of pits on the Moon, or other difficult surfaces. The method also includes spin stabilization to ensure the projectile stays oriented for a secure landing. The invention is intended to be used by rovers on the Moon and Mars for discovering....
