Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Spacecraft and aerospace recovery systems utilize reefing systems, such as conventional reefing lines or staged inflation mechanisms, to control main parachute inflation and mitigate excessive deceleration forces.

The analysis

The claim is a specific, verifiable technical fact about aerospace engineering. Retrieved papers explicitly discuss reefing lines and staging (e.g., twice-inflation and second reefing stages) used in parachute inflation control to regulate opening loads. Therefore, the claim is supported.
