This bibliography covers the design, testing, and performance of parachutes and parachute systems for space applications. The dynamics and aerodynamics of parachutes for manned and unmanned spacecraft and reentry vehicles are considered, along with those for space shuttle booster recovery. Parachute descent in planetary atmospheres is covered prominently. Some attention is given to psychological stress associated with parachute descent from space flight and to optimal parachute descent trajectories.
