At the Parachute Refurbishment Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, booster recovery parachutes are being prepared and packed for the Ares I-X flight test targeted for the summer of 2009.
Aided by an overhead monorail system, experienced parachute technicians begin the packing process by delicately stepping into the canister and tying down sections of the canopy.
Each 2,000-pound canopy consists of strong strips of material sewn together in a lattice-work design, which looks similar to a pie-crust top, suspended by 165-foot suspension lines.
This design allows the wind to flow through the blossoming canopy, stabilizing the entire stack.
The intricate packing process and specific placement in the canister is important for the canopy to open properly.
The three colossal-sized parachutes cover more than two acres when opened and each chute from end-to-end is 325 feet long.
Designed larger and stronger than the space shuttle booster recovery system, the Ares system requires three chutes to support a more than 200,000-pound object falling from an altitude of 189,000 feet.
Although the chutes are bigger than their shuttle predecessors, they still fit into the same-sized container thanks to the use of Kevlar, a material that makes the Ares parachutes stronger and lighter.
Technicians, using a hydraulic press and hand tools, compress the contents to fit snugly inside its canvas cover bag, completing the packing process.
The parachute system will enable the spent rocket boosters to gently float back to Earth splashing in the ocean where they'll be recovered by NASA's Freedom Star and Liberty Star recovery ships.
In the future, the Ares launch vehicle will carry the Orion capsule with four to six astronauts on board, to the International Space Station and onto the moon.

An aerial video crew observed the October 28, 2009 Ares I-X test flight from a Cessna Skymaster aircraft positioned approx. 10 nautical miles away from the vehicle at an altitude of 12,000 feet. The videographer used a gyro-stabilized high-definition camera system mounted to the outside of the aircraft to capture this spectacular footage which provides extremely valuable engineering data, and imagery of the recovery sequence in rarely-seen detail. Ares I-X is the first flight test of the Constellation Program and provides NASA an early opportunity to gather critical data during vehicle ascent and during booster deceleration and recovery.

Be sure to see my other videos of more slow motion bullet impacts! Slow Motion video of bullet impacts made by Werner Mehl from Kurzzeit. These are by far the best slow motion bullet impacts available anywhere. Watch for the hollow point rounds in the ballistics gel.
