will investigate the supersonic deployment, inflation, and aerodynamics of Disk-Gap-Band
(DGB) parachutes in the wake of a slender body. The parachutes will be full-scale versions
of the DGBs used by the Mars Science Laboratory in 2012 and planned for NASA's Mars
2020 project and will be delivered to targeted deployment conditions representative of flight
at Mars by sounding rockets launched out of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. The parachutes …
