On 18 February 2021, the Perseverance Rover was heading towards Mars at 20,000kmph, which is around Mach 16. It needed something to slow it down. The impact shock of slamming on the brakes at hypersonic speed is extreme. But NASA had created the lightest, strongest and most temperature resistant parachute fabric ever produced. Just a couple of seconds after deploying the parachute, its speed had dropped to just 320kmph. The Rover landed. And the rest is history. As for the parachute fabric that didn’t go to Mars? That came to us. And we’ve used it to build the most advanced piece of clothing on Earth: The Martian Aerogel Jacket. There’s a new Rover Orange edition made from the same orange parachute material that NASA used to land on Mars. There’s a new Stealth Black edition. And there’s the original Mercury edition that sold out last year. It’s not just the outside of the jacket that’s arrived from another planet. Keeping you warm on the inside of the jacket is a completely new type of laser-drilled aerogel built by the same team making the new aerogel heat shield to protect the next Mars Rover as it bursts through Mars’ atmosphere at 2000°C. Aerogel is the lightest and most effective insulator on Earth and beyond. It’s only 3x more dense than air, but it’s almost impossible for cold air to pass through it as its individual nanopores are 10,000 times thinner than a human hair. And this is the first aerogel in the world that’s flexible, durable, and waterproof. It can be totally compressed or soaked in water and still carry on insulating down at -20°C.
