the 63 ft ringsail parachute as used in Mercury, a

continued:— "There are two recovery systems that are now being seriously
con-sidered for application to the Saturn system—the
Rogallo or paraglider
wing, and the parachute recovery. The Rogallo wing has its limitationsin
glide range. It appears at this time that the booster-wing combina- tion
with presently planned burn-out ...

launchings took place on November 22, 1961; December 22, 1961; February
21, 1962 and March 7, 1962. This model of the
Rogallo wing will be
used in later fights of NASA's Project Gemini spacecraft. The wing will
be folded inside the two-man spacecraft and will be deployed during
re-entry like a parachute, gliding t...

experiment involved a study of primary cosmic radiation and other radiation by means of two sensitive emulsion packages. A
Rogallo wing, or
paraglider, is tested over Edwards Air Force Rase by NASA test pilot
Milton O. Thompson. This method of recovery will replace the use of
parachutes in NASA's Gemini programme The d...

Mr Dow discussed the radiation hazard in manned space flights (if 20,000
volts/cm could be generated in space, shielding weight could be reduced
markedly), the re-entry problem (the paraglider or
Rogallo wing concept
should be considered as are-entry aid); and the rendezvous problem
(rendezvous could be made, not only in Earth orbit, but also "at the
other end." i.e., in lunar orbit, using ferr...

system. Work was progressing in the radio-controlled
glider area, and here the group's attention
was directed to a quarter-scale inflatable
paraglider carrying a scale- model Mercury
capsule. NASA's interest in the Ryan Parawing parked
in the hangar was expressed, and a film showed the
Para- wing flying (or flapping) at 60 m.p.h. to an
