No, there is no atmosphere in space.
Astronauts cannot use parachutes to slow down their spacecraft because there is no atmosphere or air resistance in space to deploy and manipulate the parachute. Parachutes rely on air to create drag and slow down the descent, which is not present in the vacuum of space. Spacecraft use thrusters or heat shields to control re-entry and manage their speed during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
Space probe parachutes are typically made of a durable and heat-resistant material like nylon or Kevlar. These materials are chosen for their strength and ability to withstand the extreme conditions of space travel and reentry into Earth's atmosphere.
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.
Astronauts cannot use parachutes to slow down their spacecraft when approaching the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to deploy parachutes effectively. Instead, spacecraft use propulsion systems like engines or thrusters to slow down as they approach the Moon. By firing these engines in the opposite direction they are traveling, they can reduce their speed and enter lunar orbit safely.
In a thick atmosphere, such as on Earth, larger parachutes are typically required to generate enough drag to slow down a descending object safely. This is because the denser air provides more resistance, necessitating a larger surface area to counteract gravity effectively and achieve a controlled descent. Smaller parachutes may not offer enough drag force to slow down the descent adequately in thicker atmospheres.
Parachutes have never been used in space, and never will be. Without atmosphere, parachutes accomplish nothing. They are used to prevent the fiery destruction of a space vehicle when it re-enters earth's atmosphere.

AnswerYes.
Al the Apollo spacecrafts use three parachutes.
Yes
because i said so 8-)
Its still parachutes.

Yes if the airplane is going to crash, use one.
bombs use fins or parachutes for stabilization in flight
Parachutes come in varying sizes.
I think that they currently use nylon, but they used to use silk
