When fired at 45 degrees, the 38mm rocket will instantly project the payload to a
height of 200m, or 300m if fired vertically. The parachute suspended flare is then
ejected and burns for 30 seconds at 80,000 candela.

PS: While in the Coast Guard, I've often empolyed this type of parachute flare to
locate people-in-water. Parachute flares will greatly improve your nighttime ice SAR
response upon larger bodies of water.
