A two-stage parachute system consisting of a 19-in. dia ribbon parachute and a 3-ft dia guide surface parachute which is deployed 1.9 s after initial deployment is described. A 1.25 ft/sup 3/ ram air-filled flotation bag with radio beacon is used for ocean recovery of the 40-lb nose cone. Recovery was initiated by jettisoning 60 percent of the initial reentry mass prior to parachute deployment.
