No. The Genesis capsule is larger than Stardust's, so Genesis designed

Hi Mark,
Good question. Yes, Stardust does use the same system, however, the
schematics for Genesis had the accelerometer upsidedown. Therefore the
system failed.
The schematics for Stardust have the accelerometer in the correct

Doesn't stardust use EXACTLY the same parachute detonator that the ill
fated Genesis used (or didn't use in this case!) ?
