Mechanical Recovery system

I am currently working on developing a mechanical recovery depolyment system for high powered rockets. This is my senior design project and it is ongoing. I will update this page with more pictures and videos. We performed a low-altitude test launch on 5/4/24. The test was a moderate success, with one of two parachutes deploying successfully. We have many planned improvements, which we expect will make the system significantly more reliable and robust.
