Parachutes

Hi

I am tired of putting 24 plus chutes on a lower stage booster to recover it. Does anyone know of MASSIVE ie LARGE lol radial mount chutes? 

It would be nice to just be able to have 1-3 larger radial chutes and not have to deal with the staging etc.

TIA!

Many thanks! !!

That actually had a few options. It had a nice radial chute about 3x the size of the mk16xl. I tried a big habitat hub on top of a twin boar. All the chutes streamed out above 10k which is nice (next thing on agenda is Duna stuff) and then came down at 5m/s with a half tank of fuel! Very impressive.

I don't think this was the one I tried before,  but it works for what I need. Definitely stops having to figure out what chute belongs where on the staging.

Tnx again!

RealChutes introduces "programmable" ie: re-sizeable, chutes. IIRC, one of the radial chutes can safely land up to 10tons max. Is useful in other ways too, programmable opening heights, dual (main+drougue) chutesin in one part etc.
