Finished the first concept art for landing airbags. This is the smallest one, a ball shaped variant, just enough to hold stationary experiments. Good n' cheap for early missions.
[Specifications]
Mass: 0.6 tons
Size: 8x8
Velocity Threshold (Deflated): 4.5 m/s
Velocity Threshold (Inflated): 12 m/s
Orientation: Reaction Wheel
How it works: The airbag will automatically inflate once a decoupler/docking port closest to the attachment point below the ball detaches. It will only deflate when landed on a surface and it's velocity is 0 m/s.
