NASA's rocket-powered 'flying saucer' successfully deployed an inflatable cushion during a flight test on Monday, but the saucer's parachute deployed only partially. The latest flight of the saucer-shaped Low Density Supersonic Decelerator, or LDSD, produced a mixed result similar to that of the vehicle's first test, a year ago. Mission managers will review the detailed data recorded during Monday's test and go back to the old drawing board for next year's flight.
