The carapace is a highly resistant unit which allows a [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]] to enter the atmosphere of a planet from high orbit. It includes hard points for weapons, to prevent them being lost in the deceleration upon entry to the atmosphere. Although the carapace is likely to provide some heat protection for the user, most of the heat from friction will be deflected by the SPARTAN's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], making it unsuitable for use by regular personnel. Once terminal velocity has been reached, and a suitable altitude above the planet surface has been attained, the parafoil may be deployed for a safe landing. | The carapace is a highly resistant unit which allows a [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]] to enter the atmosphere of a planet from high orbit.
