Abstract
This study discusses an airbag system as a landing gear of a spacecraft for a planetary exploration. The inflated airbag has the capability to attenuate impact acceleration at the instant of landing and submergence into regolith that covers a planetary surface. Crash tests in this paper verify the attenuation performance of the airbag and specify an issue.
