Why Lower Atmosphere Delivery is Better than Regular Delivery

Normal delivery of emergency supplies takes place in the troposphere - where planes fly, and on the ground - where vehicles drive. LADS would deliver from the thermosphere where satellites orbit. Dropping from space, slowed by parachutes and directed by rocket thrusters, LADS can reach any location on a planet in less than 15 minutes.

Lower Atmosphere Delivery allows for pre-stocked supplies to be quickly delivered anywhere on the planet surface. Not only on Earth but also on planets throughout the solar system and deep space as humans explore.
