Design, build, and test a textile LLD with extended stroke, capable of accommodating a wide range of MAR weights to tailor the load limiting capability. Create a cost efficient technique for the capability

The use of a textile-based LLD was demonstrated in flight for a mid-air capture of 1100 lbm. This demonstration occurred in 2016. The goal of this technology development was to demonstrate a textile-based LLD for a payload weight of 10,000 lbm, increasing the system capability 10-fold, thereby allowing for mid-air retrieval of very large space-returning hardware.
