Aerodynamically Stabilized Instrument Platform
2016
Overview
The AeroPod, developed at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility, is a passive device that uses aerodynamic forces to stabilize an instrument package suspended from a kite or tethered blimp. The AeroPod's design for steadying and damping payloads includes the use of a tail boom and fin combination. It is a novel design and provides a relatively simple alternative to the traditional methods for suspending equipment from kites or blimps. NASA's AeroPod is better than the traditional Picavet pulley-style suspension system for kite-flight because it's lightweight, simple to construct, and has no moving parts.
