RE-ENTRY DROGUE
«

Got a problem with the mercury flight - Everything goes fine throughout the mission - including the Redstone mission until the splashdown - the main drogue deploys and ends up as a flat pancake on top of the mercury capsule during the descent - this then causes an eratic spinning touchdown - well in fact the capsule does not touch down but hovers in space above the surface!
Any help to rectify this gratefully accepted

If the drouge ends up flat, wouldn't the main chute put the spacecraft right?
Also i think the capsule is suppost to do that for recovery. Orbiter has a minor problem that ends up as a CTD if two vessels dock and one is landed. So the capsule levitates awaiting the helicopter
