Abstract:
The potential for separated items to regain contact and damage the spacecraft has posed a significant risk to recent, current, and planned JPL missions, and it may have been a factor in the Beagle 2 mission failure. Conduct flight tests or analyses to verify that items separated from a lander or return capsule during the descent phase of a mission remain separate by a substantial margin.
