How do you launch a parachute in Kerbal Space Program?
Put the parachute into a stage in the VAB. Then, when you press space to activate the stage the parachute will deploy and hopefully stop you from exploding.
Would a parachute help a skydiver in space?
No. A parachute would not help a skydiver in space. A parachute works by taking advantage of air resistance. There is no air in space, so there can be no resistance. Perhaps that's the main reason why the Space Shuttle never deployed its parachutes while it was still in space.
Where do space shuttle land?
space shuttles fly in space and then like an aeroplane it lands on a runway with a parachute flying out the back
Why does a space shuttle use a parachute after landing?
To brake and lower it's speed.
Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?
A parachute requires the drag of the atmosphere to slow the descent. As there is no atmosphere on the Moon, a parachute would be as useful as a chocolate diaper (nappy).

Will a square parachute work better than a rectangle parachute?
Yes they will
What should the parachute size in mars?
Wouldn't work since there is no air at all. Edit: The atmosphere is thin, but there's enough to make a parachute work. We know this because some space probes have used parachutes to land on Mars. Sorry, I don't know what size they used.
Will a parachute work in a vacuum?
no it will not

Should you put slits in your parachute?
if you mean slits has in tears then NO If you do that then your parachute will not work and you`ll die.

Why doesn't the cassini space probe have a parachute and heat shield?
because its solid
What force makes a parachute work?
air resistance
Would a Parachute work on the moon?
A parachute works on Earth by effectively 'trapping air' inside of it, creating a large surface area and so a large amount of wind resistance or friction. As there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air to be trapped and therefore no friction. So no, a parachute would not work on the moon.A parachute works using air resistence. There is no air on the moon. Therefore a parachute would only pull you down faster. If ur planning on going to the moon i suggest you try a jetpack.
