Nasa video on orion parachutes feature

The Orion spacecraft uses a series of parachutes for its re-entry and landing phases. These parachutes slow down the descent of the spacecraft while returning to Earth. The system includes three main types of parachute: drogue chute, pilot chute and main chute. The drogue chutes deploy first to help stabilize and slow the spacecraft. Then the pilot shoots are released, which eventually deploy the main shoots responsible for the final descent and landing. This multi-stage parachute system ensures a safe and controlled landing for the Orion spacecraft.
