An investigation has been conducted to determine the opening characteristics of several hemispherical parachutes at airspeeds up to 200 miles per hour and to study the influence of the parachute design variables on these opening characteristics. The effects of design variables on the drag and stability characteristics of the parachutes were also evaluated.
