The CanSat use a parachute to slow it down when getting back to the earth. Otherwise the CanSat would crash!
The parachute is also used to maintain the CanSat in the proper position to properly orientate the antenna!
The parachute is also used to maintain the CanSat in the proper position to properly orientate the antenna! This is essential to receive telemetry data.

== Parachute opening & tenseness ==
The process of parachute opening and air flow capturing is a violent process. The tenseness on the fabric, wire, hook may be really impressive at the opening.
So you need to select strong fibres and realise strong assemblies. The ideal materials are those used for human parachute (Nylon Cord, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripstop Ripstop Nylon]).
== Fundamentals parameters ==
The followings parameters are primary values to use when designing the CanSat's parachute.
* '''Mass''' : between 300gr and 350gr.
* '''Velocity''' : between 8 m/s and 11 m/s (about 29 Km/H and 40 Km/H).
* '''Drag Coefficient''' : the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient drag coefficient] depends on the parachute shape and the fluid used (''Air'' in this case).
