The ExoMars Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) Structural Model during the parachute pull test, simulating the worst-case scenario where all the parachute force is transmitted to the EDM through only one of the three attachment bridles. The parachute force is simulated using a hydraulic jack, which is seen here above the EDM.
