Jettisoning system for a parachute's canister
Abstract
Three-point automatically released suspension and jettisoning system operates independently of lander's power system and releases parachute on touchdown. The system is based on a ball-lock device operated by the shock of the parachute's opening and by the subsequent decay in the load on the main cord.
