The reason why the parachute can't be opened

When the Soyuz 1 spacecraft is 7 kilometers above the ground, it should eject from the hatch cover and separate, and at the same time pull out the guide umbrella to slow down the descending spacecraft. This small umbrella can reduce the speed of the spacecraft to 40 meters per second, which is also the speed at which the main umbrella can be safely deployed. If the speed is higher, the umbrella coat of the main umbrella will be torn to pieces.

At this time, the main umbrella of Alliance 1 was not pulled out. Under normal circumstances, if there is a problem with the main umbrella, the backup umbrella system will start automatically. However, according to the predetermined design, the main umbrella can only be separated after being pulled out, and the backup umbrella system can only be started (this design is to avoid the entanglement of two umbrellas), but what happened this time was that the main umbrella was still in the umbrella cabin and was not pulled out at all, so the backup umbrella did not unfold, leading to the crash.
