Wikipedia
LAPLander (shortening for Light Airbag Protected Lander) is a prototype of a space probe primarily intended for measurements in the ionosphere. The aim for the prototype is to evaluate the flight characteristics, e.g. air braking, of a flight from the border of space. Furthermore, the impact protection and recovery systems will be evaluated. As the name says, the recovery system is based on airbags, that serve both to the deceleration and the impact protection. The future version of LAPLander will make it possible to do multi-point measurements, which will be of great help in research of the complex processes within the ionosphere that contributes to auroras and disturbances in satellite communication.
