SQUID parachute load test @ 420 FPS

SQUID parachute load test @ 420 FPS Tube. Duration : 0.40 Mins.


High-speed footage from a test meant to determine the breaking point of the nylon parachutes used for the SQUID rocket experiment. An up-side down parachute loaded with 19kg of extra weight was dropped from 1.5 m, to be braked to a standstill using a line of paracord. However, the paracord itself broke.

An up-side down parachute loaded with 19kg of extra weight was dropped from 1.5 m, to be braked to a standstill using a line of paracord. However, the paracord itself broke, and we are currently looking into changing this for something stronger in the actual landing system. Filmed with a Casio EX-FH25.
