Pudgemountain Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Wild Wind V attempting to land on the surface of Windswept. Still using Juno Guidance units as the base. I went with a different antenna so I wouldn't have to use a wider heat shield, plus it relays off of Wild Wind IV. Also the landing is filmed live with a ranger camera. We did land on the surface unfortunately the chutes deployed too late, either thin atmosphere or wrong chute setting. I'll call it a partial failure, the core and some instruments did not blow up but I did lose the topsoil scoop and seismometer. The Camera still works and even found these strange structure like things. Might have to try a water splashdown with Wild Wind VI. Also Bonus of a Gemini capsule landing near a cryovolcano.
