In celebration of NASA’s Apollo 11 historic Moon landing, Rocketman Parachutes is proud to release our Apollo-inspired parachute line. Each parachute features beautiful alternating white and orange panels, inspired by the iconic recovery systems used during the Apollo era.
These parachutes are designed to be compact, lightweight, highly visible, and reliable for rocketry recovery.
Features:
- PolyConical design with an extended skirt
- Very compact and lightweight
- Alternating white and orange Apollo-inspired panels
- Made from lightweight 1.1 oz Mil-Spec calendared ripstop nylon
- 220 lb Spectra suspension lines coated with polyurethane for abrasion resistance
- Ultra-thin 1/32" lines to reduce packing volume
- Apex vent hole, approximately 10% of surface area, to improve inflation and pressure balance
- Made in the USA
Inspired by Apollo. Built by Rocketman.
