Step Six: Parachute Deploys
About four minutes later, the spacecraft slows to about 1,000 miles per hour and is only 30,000 feet above the martian surface. At this point, a supersonic parachute is deployed. The parachute is based on the designs and experience of those used in the Viking and Pathfinder missions. The parachute for this mission is about 40% larger than Pathfinder's, and is made of two durable lightweight fabrics (polyester and nylon). <---- silky stuff makes everything work
