BRAKING
|
The team has designed a mechanically fail-safe braking system, meaning if the actuators or computers fail, the system will brake automatically. The system utilizes non-contact braking using an array of 400+ magnets and can decelerate the pod at the 2.4G maximum permitted under SpaceX rules. From top speed, the brakes dissipate 1.5MJ of kinetic energy.
