508 Institute of the 5th Academy of CASC has successfully completed a preliminary parachute drop test for the next generation crewed spacecraft. The test was conducted to verify results obtained from wind tunnel testing of an improved parachute design. Further drop tests on full-size parachutes will be carried out in the future.
近日，中国航天科技集团有限公司五院508所新一代载人飞船缩比群伞空投试验顺利完成并取得圆满成功。该试验的主要目的是通过多架次空投的迭代验证来评估风洞试验后优选的改进伞型效果，从而为后续开展全尺寸降落伞性能空投试验奠定技术基础。
本次新飞船空投试验共进行了包含预试验在内的共11个架次的投放试验，由直升机携带航弹模型飞行至预定高度，以预定速度到达预定区域后进行投放，模型按照程序开始工作，稳定伞脱离，群伞同步开伞，直至模型落地。同时，模型内安装的测量和控制设备进行数据测量和记录。
本次空投试验充分验证了优化改进设计的降落伞组成群伞的工作性能，为后续开展全尺寸降落伞性能空投试验奠定了扎实的基础。

The airdrop test of the 508 new generation manned spacecraft of the 5th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology achieved a complete success
Recently, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Fifth Academy 508 of the new generation manned spacecraft downscale group parachute airdrop test successfully completed and achieved complete success. The main purpose of the test is to evaluate the effect of the optimized umbrella shape after the wind tunnel test through the iterative verification of multiple airdrops, so as to lay the technical foundation for the subsequent full-size parachute performance airdrop test.
In this new spacecraft airdrop test, a total of 11 sorties including pre-tests were carried out. The helicopter flew the air bomb model to a predetermined height, reached the predetermined area at a predetermined speed, and then launched the model. The model began to work in accordance with the procedures. The stable umbrella is separated, and the group umbrellas are opened synchronously until the model falls to the ground. At the same time, the measurement and control equipment installed in the model performs data measurement and recording.
This airdrop test fully verified the working performance of the optimized and improved parachute group parachute, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent full-size parachute performance airdrop test.
