OSTI ID:6692836
Results of tests conducted on a two-stage parachute system consisting of a 19-in.-dia ribbon parachute made of Kevlar-29 and a 3-ft-dia guide surface, second-stage parachute with a nylon canopy and Kevlar-29 suspension lines are reported. A 1.75 ft/sup 3/ ram, air-filled flotation bag is used for ocean recovery of the 57-lb nose cone. Recovery was started by jettisoning 63 percent of the initial reentry mass prior to deploying the parachute.
