Novel idea by ESA, but seen some suggestion quite some years back of one inflatable reentry system.
Anything like this could be a space and weight saver for a Mars sample return mission perhaps? Link |

Even worse, its starting to seem like a repetition of Cosmos.
Lets hope not though. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051008/ap_on_...ssia_spacecraft |

SpaceFlightNow seems to be a bit confused at the moment - they say that Cryosat is missing perhaps confusing it with the re-entry technology demonstrator,Eurocokot's Cryosat Page say everything is nominal with final separation happening as I type. |

[I may have been too trusting - ESA now has a nasty "no news" yet banner on the Cryosat home page and EuroRockot are now saying that they haven't acquired any signals from the Breeze upper stage or CryoSat. Bugger.
QUOTE After an excellent nominal lift off the russian launch vehicle Rockot with ESAs icy mission CryoSat there is no acquisition of the signal neither of the Breeze upper stager nor of the satellite.
Next information will be given at 20:30 h CEST. |

Link It is a very genious idea but the Russian space technology has full of buggs...with Cosmos, Cryosat and now with this demostration!  Rodolfo |

"We believe the satellite ... fell where the second rocket stage is supposed to fall, that is in the Lincoln Sea, near the North Pole" - Oleg Gromov, Russian Space Troops.
"The remnants of the satellite have fallen into the northern Arctic Sea. The booster unit did not switch on and it resulted in the failure of the satellite to reach orbit" - Vyacheslav Davydenko, spokesman for the Russian Federal Space Agency. A commission to investigate the incident has already been appointed. |
