[quote name='Gryphon']Did you try to complete it? If you stage it, the contract parameter should complete, regardless of whether the chute actually deploys. Also, some part tests require you to click a "Run Test" button on the part instead.[/QUOTE]
I tried it but the mission still did not want to complete. I did some more testing and rolling the pod around on the launch pad seemed to make it work. Thanks for the help!
