About 230 mph for the drogue chutes at altitude by the accounts I've seen. Apollo would be doing terminal velocity for that altitude....about 25,000ft...after falling through the thinner stuff above bleeding the speed down from about 24,500 mph at reentry. Apollo 10 holds the speed record for that at about 11.1 kilometers per second...24,800 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
