Conceptual Research on the Spacelab Inflatable Download System

An innovative aerospace recovery technology known as Inflatable Download System (IDS) is based on the Russian Inflatable Re-entry and Descent Technology(IRDT). Basic concepts and mechanisms of the IDS are provided here in detail. Main characteristics of the IDS are concluded through comparison with the traditional parachute recovery methods. Main subsystem technologies are outlined, e.g. structure, trajectory, aerodynamics, aeroheating and thermal protection system. With the analysis of its state-of-art and trend, potential applications of IDS in military and aerospace are introduced and evaluated.
