Recovery System

Concept of Operations - Overview

Recovery Deployment of a High Powered Rocket

The definition of a successful flight is not only building and launching a rocket, but also a successful recovery.

• Recovery is the biggest challenge in Rocketry.

• Every Rocket must have a recovery system which returns it safety to earth.

• The desired rate of descent is 20 ft/s.

• You may never catch a rocket falling to earth.
