This is a black and white drawing of the JAMIC drop tower where its total depth is shown as 720 m with a freefall zone of 500 m, braking zone of 200 m and an emergency braking zone of 20 m. The capsule has guide rails through this drop tower and is slowed down by an air damper and shock absorbing material.
