| − | The '''Mk16 Parachute''' module is primarily used to slow the descent of the [[Command Pod Mk1]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Usage ==
| |
| − | When deployed the parachute will act as a drag chute until reaching an altitude less than 500 meters above sea level. Once under 500 meters the parachute will fully deploy slowing down the Command Pod to approximately 20m/s for a nice safe descent.

| − | {{Quote
| |
| − | |The Mk16 Parachute might be considered by some to be little more than a random stitching together of the surplus parts it is, in fact, made from. But the fact remains that the Mk16 has been widely accepted as a generally better alternative to being in freefall. Parachutes can be deployed even if they're disconnected from the ship.

| |
| − | ''see also: [[Version History]]''
| |
| − | ; v0.9
| |
| − | * Parts now have an ActivatesEvenIfDisconnected parameter on the cfg to allow them to be activated after jettisoning
| |
| − | * Fixed parachutes not deploying if not set to the last stage. (they can still deploy when jettisoned)
| |
| − | * Parachutes now have a 'useAGL' parameter. If that's enabled, it will deploy when it reaches deploy altitude from ground level
| |
| − | * ''(undocumented)'' Parachutes no longer deploy outside of the atmosphere
| |
| − | ; v0.8.5
| |
| − | * Parachutes can now deploy automatically if jettisoned along with other parts (allowing for parts to be safely landed)
| |
| − | * Added some sound effects for the parachute opening
| |
| − | * Added cfg-definable parameter for parachute autodeployment delay
| |
| − | ; v0.7.3
| |
| − | * Initial release
