Impact motion of sphere landing on surface of moon or other planets with payload centrally supported from spherical skin by numerous cords is determined on assumption of uniform isentropic gas compression during impact; landing capabilities are determined for system containing suspension cords of constant cross section; effects of deviations in impact velocity and initial gas temperature are studied.
