K2GXT High Altitude Balloon Parachute and payload structure integrity testing. The goals of this series were to validate the parachute opening and decent rate slowing. The hard tile/concrete flooring served a harsh landing impact that is much harder than the actually flight would see. The outer insulation used was our older cuts that were temporarily attached, the internal polycarbonate frame survived without any damage! video curtosy of K2GXT Member Stephen Cavilia, KC2ZGU
