Recovery Systens

In this Lab we were making different parachut designs and seeing which one has the least drag. The parachute was hol=ding san bags. We through the parachute off of the top of the stairs. We did a petty good job and it went down straight and smooth the first time but then we tried to make it go down slower then what it was already going down.

I learned that the closer the parachute is to the sand bag the slower it goes down. You cant put too close to the bag n the bottom though or else the air cant get in.

I think we will be making parahutes with not alot drag in the mission to mars because we were supposed to be recording our data not neccaseriy on paper.
