Two Earth-atmosphere testing techniques are used in NASA Planetary Entry Parachute Project to provide experimental data in support of NA SA Voyager Mars Program; experience gained with meteorological sounding rockets led to selection of four configurations for early flight testing; flight-test sequences of rocket-launched system and of balloon-launched system are described; techniques can provide experimental data and realistically proven decelerator configurations needed for missions such as Mars Voyager landing capsules.
