About this document
Gemini Landing System Development Report by Bob Andrepont is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes testing conducted to support development of the Gemini Land Landing System. It describes scaled model tests of parachute and para-sail systems as well as full-scale tests. One-third scale flight dynamics tests evaluated parachute performance and load distribution. A one-third scale para-sail/rocket model test assessed stability during impact. Parachute and para-sail development included drop tests of various canopy designs and sizes. Rocket motor testing verified thrust characterist
