thank you for all the feedback. and I'm sorry to confuse you but its .01Gs I was wrong when I initially gave the info. let me give you a little more info and maybe there is a simple solution to my problem: I have an experiment that will be dropping from a 10ft 5in tower and I need to be able to...

Is it possible to be done?

Would anyone know how to determine the area that a drag shield would have to be to allow an object above not to experience no more then .001 Gs? The drag shield that I was thinking about is just a flat sheet attached to the bottom of the top object by a string. Would this even be possible?
