Chute Test Is Success From White Sands Flight

Capt. Joe Kittinger jumped from 74 700 feet at White Sands New Mexico and a 28 foot parachute opened at 17 200 feet to steady his fall during a high altitude test for the Air Force Aeromedical Laboratories. The test followed a 12 mile balloon descent and contrasted with his 116 mile prior leap. He called the flight enjoyable and noted the main chute opened automatically to deploy. The event supports continued high altitude research at Wright Air Development Center Ohio and involved stabilization parachutes and timing that prevented excessive spinning.
