  • The black, dark blue, and blue sets of lines represent the different vehicle weights (157, 167, and 177 lbs)
  • The different lines within those sets represent the different launch angles
  • These sets of lines follow the ascent and descent without parachute
  • The light blue steady state descent lines represent descent with parachute
