Skydive from the StratosphereMission accomplished! You determined the correct time to deploy your stabilization chute—somewhere in the range of 14 to 20 seconds into the freefall. You also waited until your altitude was less than 19,000 ft before deploying your main chute. Again, the correct decision. Your crew, now on its way to pick you up, is ecstatic. Congratulations!
