Video clip of full-scale breadboard test of vented airbag. ESA's ExoMars is the first mission to Mars planning to use vented airbag technology to land on the planet surface. The vented airbag guarantees a smooth soft landing at the first contact with the planet surface by releasing the airbag gas as soon as it is fully compressed.
