[meteorite-list] Stardust parachute reliability?

[Martinh]

Hi All,

Something else I am wondering about with regard to the Genesis impact 
is the reliability of the Stardust sample return parachute which will 
deploy in January of 2006 over the same stretch of land.

Seems that the parachute deployment on Beagle on Mars was less than 
perfect. And the Mars Rovers had a late deployment of either their 
chutes or retros, enough to give a few folks indigestion.

Any thoughts? Ron B.?
