Near Space Parachute 1.0 m

Our line of parachutes are designed specifically for near-space flights. They are simple, robust, lightweight, and they produce a lot of drag. In fact, our parachutes produce almost twice as much drag as a drogue chute of the same size. Unlike most parachutes, our chutes feature an attachment loop in the center of the parachute canopy. This loop is used to connect the line going up to the balloon. Our parachutes are manufactured right here in the US using CNC machines so you know you're getting quality you can depend on to safely bring your payload home.

If your landing speed is less than 5 m/s your payload is going to take longer to re-enter the earth’s atmosphere and you will have to travel further downwind to recover your payload. If your landing speed is greater than 5 m/s, you increase the risk of property damage or personal injury if your payload inadvertently lands in a popul
