Doesn’t seem like there would be much use for a chute in an atmosphere like this
Parachutes have been used quite a bit for Mars probes.
That’s why YUUUUUUUGE chutes are needed.
The atmosphere on Mars isn’t as dense as Earth, but there’s at least something. If they can deploy something to slow the mass in Earth’s atmo, it’ll work fine on Mars.

Sort of wild, but there are even plans for gliders that can be used in the very thin Martian atmosphere.
