Parachute extraction tests at AeroSekur
Parachute dynamic extraction tests were performed at the end of 2010 at AeroSekur, Aprilia, Italy, to verify correct deployment of the parachute. This video shows the air gun used to eject the storage bag with the parachute from its stowed configuration at the required velocity (about 30 metres per second).
