Parachute Drag Coefficients (Effective)
It is not possible to do perfect analysis of the Parachute Drag coefficients because we cannot back out the drag on the mission package and booster sections. However, we can determine the effective coefficients (including the drag on these bodies).
Drogue
We trimmed the data so that it didn't include opening shock loads or main opening. We then performed analysis at two different altitudes (~30k ft, ~20k ft, and ~10k ft) in order to see the difference between different altitudes.
