[7] [9] It is the fastest object ever built on Earth. [10] The project was announced in the fiscal 2009 budget year. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory designed and built the spacecraft, [11] which was launched on 12 August 2018. [2]
The Stardust sample-return capsule was the fastest man-made object ever to reenter Earth's atmosphere, at 28,000 mph (ca. 12.5 km/s) at 135 km altitude. This was faster than the Apollo mission capsules and 70% faster than the Shuttle. [1] PICA was critical for the viability of the Stardust mission, which returned to Earth in 2006.
