T' simulate t' thin Martian atmosphe T' PEPP Aeroshell program intended t' test parachutes for t' Voyager mars landin' program. Blimey! T' simulate t' thin Martian atmosphere t' parachute needed t' be deployed at an altitude more than 160,000 feet above t' earth. A stratospheric balloon launched from Roswell Industrial Air Center, in New Mexico was used t' initially lift t' aeroshell which was then dropped and t' engines beneath t' vehicle boosted it t' t' required altitude. Avast! This final part o' t' flight and t' landin' take place over t' White Sands Missile Range. T' footage is from t' third drop test conducted on August 15, 1967.
