Abstract
This is a report about tests conducted on a two-stage parachute system consisting of a 19-in. diameter ribbon parachute made of Kevlar-29 and a 3 ft diameter guide surface, second-stage parachute with a nylon canopy and Kevlar-29 suspension lines. A 1.75 ft ram, air-filled flotation bag attached to the vent of the 3 ft guide surface parachute is used for ocean recovery of the 57 Ib nose cone. Recovery was started by jettisoning 63% of the initial re-entry mass prior to deploying the parachute.
