As a small test of the opening of the GAGA-1 parachute I attached it to a bag containing 1kg of sugar using the same cord as will be used for the flight and with the assistance of a colleague threw it out of the window of our office.
We are 8 stories up, so we get a bit of flight time. Here's the video:
The parachute opened nicely and the bag of sugar survived the fall.
