This test was conducted to determine the flight characteristics, ballistic coefficients and terminal velocities of six of the subject mine-parachute combinations. It was concluded that: (1) The six Mines, Mk. 36, equipped with Parachutes, XH-20G, had excellent flight characteristics and the operation of the parachute packs and parachutes was satisfactory; (2) The ballistic coefficients and terminal velocities, respectively, for the six drops are as follows: 0.0475 - 176 ft./sec.; 0.0527 - 186 ft./sec.; 0.0537 - 188 ft./sec.; 0.0421 - 165 ft./sec.; 0.0420 - 165 ft./sec.; 0.0423 - 166 ft./sec.
