Wonder if they used the same parachute design as Beagle..

Measured in inches but delivered in cm perhaps given US proclivities for
muddled imperial units conversions. Although by the sound of it the system
did not deploy when fired and they had to treat the thing as a UXB.

Perhaps more relevant. Did they use explosive bolts from the same batch?

well the stunt pilots would have to be incredible to catch that.
we will have to see what scientific info can be obtained from the
probe, ( dont buy thoses parachutes again ha ha ).

the capsule didnt look in bad condition from the tv pictures
so fingers crossed

I did wonder about the way it wobbled in the air. Very much like those old
hub cap style craft in the UFO series from Gerry Andersons crew.
