About this work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Astronauts Mike Fossum and Cady Coleman look over a model capsule fit with rotor blades ahead of tests inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The design would give a capsule the stability and control of a helicopter, but would not be powered. Instead, the wind passing over the rotors as the capsule descends would make the blades turn, a process called auto-rotation.
