Theoretical analysis and experimental investigations are presented for two deployment concepts of the drogue parachute deployment for the space shuttle solid rocket booster. The analysis represents the motion of three coupled rigid bodies, with one of the bodies having variable mass and moment of inertia. The unfurling process of the parachute from the bag is idealized as the flow of a continuum out of a control surface. The pilot parachute or tethered nose cap is modeled as a flexible pendulum with a nonlinear spring and a moving support. Measured wind tunnel test data compare reasonably well with the theory.
