Will Parachutes Work on the Moon Why or Why Not?

The Moon has no atmosphere so there is no drag on the capsule to slow its descent; parachutes will not work.

How would the parachute fall on the moon?

The parachute falls freely with acceleration due to gravity on the moon due to absence of air resistance as there is no atmosphere.

Can parachutes be used in space?

Parachutes for spacecraft are more aerodynamic. Project Mercury, which put the first U.S. astronaut in space in 1961, based its parachute on those used in the ballistic missile program.
