Sub-team
Recovery
Launching a rocket isn’t our only goal. We also need to get it back in one piece.
On this page Overview
Recovery is responsible for returning our rocket safely to the ground. This sub-team designs and builds parachutes, pyrotechnic fasteners, and parachute ejection systems. Recovery also designs testing rigs and performs tests of our unique inverted-reefed parachute and its deployment systems.
On the Recovery team, you could be working on:
- Designing parachute deployment mechanisms
- Designing and sewing novel parachutes
- Designing and building test equipment
- Leading/participating in many, many tests
