- At moment of bomb / pulse unit firing (1),
- As the bomb's explosion pulse reaches the parachute canopy (2),
- Pushes the canopy, accellerating it away from the bomb explosion (3) as the spacecraft plays out the main tether with the winch, braking as it extends, starting to accellerate the spacecraft,
