Recovery of man carrying vehicles, capsules, and rocket boosters demands use of decelerators; wind tunnel study made to determine parameters affecting performance of drogue parachutes; flow studies of rigid and flexible parachute models were made by means of high speed schlieren motion pictures, and drag coefficients of flexible models measured at simulated altitudes from about 50,000 to 120,000 ft.
