Answer:
While the brakes were adequate to get the vehicle stopped, the drag chutes cut down on their wear considerably. Particularly with heavy touchdown masses. It was also interesting to note the amount of software changes that had to be made and tested in the onboard flight software to support the chute. The SSME’s had to be parked in the correct position to avoid being fouled in the chute lines and possibly damaged, and it depended on whether it was for a nominal entry landing or a landing after an RTLS abort how the software was exercised.
