Astronauts to rely on parachute made by ordnance unit



Each set of these parachutes comprises four different types and are crucial for safely transporting astronauts to and from space by reducing velocity during re-entry.One essential aspect of this mission is the use of drouge parachutes, “which play a pivotal role in stabilizing the module and reducing the velocity during re-entry.”These parachutes are made of a special fabric that includes Nylon 66 with an ignition temperature of 250 degrees Celsius. The rigging lines, chords and tapes are also special with their melting point at 427 degree C.Explaining the mechanism and impact of the parachutes once deployed, a source said, “It is a bunch of 10 parachutes and will be set in action as the capsule containing the crew reaches an altitude of 7 km from the earth.”
