Hole on a Capsule Parachute Appears on Astronauts Landing

According to SPACE, the descent of Shenzhou 16 astronauts has taken the interest of many as the video of the descent captured an apparent hole that had appeared in their return capsule’s parachute.

It was such a sizable hole that was visible before a white cloud of vented propellant left the Shenzhou capsule. It was not reported that there was a hole in a capsule’s parachute during earlier missions. However, it seems the ripped capsule did not affect the operations as the astronauts have landed safely.
