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.
