The Ares 1-x sustained some damage upon splashdown 120-miles off the coast of the Kennedy Space Center when it first-stage parachute recovery system failed to operate as designed.
"Only one parachute deployed properly. One parachute failed and wrapped around the third partially deployed parachute," according to an e-mail status report obtained by Florida Today. William Harwood writes for CBS News about the parachute system failure. NASA Watch looks at a stagging issue as well.
