How Do Spacecraft Slow Down? We asked NASA technologies
NASA employs various technologies to slow down spacecraft during missions. One common method is to use retrograde rocket burns, firing thrusters in the opposite direction of travel to reduce speed. Additionally, aerobraking involves dipping into a planet's atmosphere to use drag to slow down. Parachutes, heat shields, and gravity assists around planets can also help slow down spacecraft. The specific technology used depends on the mission's requirements and destination.
