The parachute is for lowering a space vehicle to earth. The parachute has concentric annular outer and inner fabric areas respectively of stronger and lighter less-strength fabrics in which the inner less-strength fabric area is reefed to remove the same from inflation by the slip stream during initial deployment, to cause preliminary deceleration of the chute by the outer relatively stronger fabric area, including time delay controlled reefing elements for releasing the inner lessstrength fabric area to the slip stream following a predetermined deceleration of the parachute by the outer stronger fabric area.
