Tests were conducted in the 40-in. supersonic Tunnel A of the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility to investigate the drag and stability characteristics of a series of flexible decelerator models. The models were tested at Mach numbers from 1.5 to 6 at dynamic pressures corresponding to pressure altitudes of 75,000 to 135,000 ft, respectively. Four basic decelerator configurations were examined: hyperflo parachutes at variable locations aft of three forebody models, hemisflo parachutes with varied amounts of canopy inlet reefing, a tandem configuration composed of a hyperflo parachute inside the suspension lines of a hemisflo parachute, and a conical ballute decelerator.
