The parachute got tangled on the first flight of the Saturn V. One chute was open, so it descended slow enough that I could catch it. The second flight of the Saturn was flawless. The Mercury Redstone had a great launch, but the delay was too long. It had dropped 100' before the ejection charge deployed the chute. The velocity broke the parachute line, and the nose cone dropped. It took slight damage, but nothing that can't be repaired. All flight information was captured with a Jolly Logic Altimeter 2. Flight 1: Saturn V Apogee: 380' Speed: 96 mph Engine Burn: 1.2 seconds 6.5 G max 3.6 G ave Ejection: 378' Descent: 8 mph Flight 2: Saturn V Apogee: 370' Speed: 91 mph Engine Burn: 1.3 seconds 6.5 G max 3.3 G ave Ejection: 347' Descent: 9 mph Flight 3: Mercury Redstone Apogee: 226' Speed: 54 mph Engine Burn: 1.3 seconds 6.1 G max 1.3 G ave Ejection: 123' Descent: not measured because the nosecone was shot directly to the ground from the rocket.
