The parachute took a ride on a sounding rocket to be deployed in conditions that mimic the Mars atmosphere. "Within four-tenths of a second, the 180-pound parachute billowed out from being a solid cylinder to being fully inflated," says NASA.

This was the third in a series of tests run for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Advanced Supersonic Parachute Inflation Research Experiment (ASPIRE) project.
