A parachute development system as described in copending application Ser. No. 848,932 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,595,501 uses as a pilot parachute to orient a rocket in the airstream so that when the rocket is fired downstream, it deploys the main parachute. The invention herein accomplishes orientation of the rocket rapidly and without the use of the pilot parachute under low speed conditions, by releasing the rocket to trail behind the load which is being accelerated in an upstream direction in the airstream. |
