View looking up out of the top window of the Apollo 202 Command Module as the drogue parachutes deploy at over 320 miles per hour. Just over a minute into the clip the drogues pull the main three orange and white parachutes out from the top of the capsule. This release moment would have been accompanied by a very loud bang as the pyrotechnic devices in the top of the spacecraft detonated to hurl out the packed parachutes. It takes almost thirty seconds for these main canopies to completely unfurl, helping to slow the capsule down to under 20 miles an hour for splashdown. Date recorded: 1966-08-25 to 1966-08-25 | |
