The drop test had to simulate capsule-water impact when landing using our main parachutes.

A small drogue parachute was released as planned, followed by the three main parachutes.

So, I had no choice but to simply place the drogue on top of the main parachutes.

This time, though, only one drogue parachute and two main parachutes deployed, and they did just fine.

These questions remain: - Does the drogue have enough drag to pull and deploy the three main parachutes?

The three main parachutes (almost) in the compartment.

Deploying of the three main parachutes.

The purpose is to validate how the capsule will react to water impact when landing with three large main parachutes.

We will perform the first basic test on one of the main parachutes for DIY space capsule Tycho Deep Space.

Tycho Deep Space I will not be retired until its main parachutes has been fully deployed which didn't happen during the LES test.

Since there was no time to get Betty stabilized using the drogue, I had to release the main parachutes, which worked fine as well.

Three main parachutes will provide us with a controlled capsule splash down at sea followed by recovery operation of Tycho Deep Space and the LES-engine.

The three main parachutes for the capsule are 100% made by Copenhagen Suborbitals with Søren Gregersen and Mads Stenfatt as the lead guys.

- Are the liners powerful enough to hold the drogue and the main parachutes?
