    A high-power rocket being set up before flight. High-power rocket designs can vary widely as do anticipated altitudes and performance, but altitudes of 10,000 feet (3,048 m) and velocities in the supersonic ranges are not uncommon. A combination of (often) larger mass and higher apogees may require sophisticated recovery systems. High-power ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skokie_(rocket)

    Skokie was a family of research vehicles developed by the Cook Electric Co. for the United States Air Force during the mid to late 1950s. Launched from a B-29 bomber, Skokie 1 was an unpowered, ballistic vehicle, while Skokie 2 was rocket-propelled; both were used for evaluating and testing high-speed parachute recovery systems.

    The recovery system, at the top of the rocket, would have used two stages of parachutes. In the first stage, a single parachute, 17 feet (5.2 m) in diameter, would stabilize the rocket's fall and slow its descent. This parachute would then draw out a set of three main parachutes, each 67 feet (20 m) across.

    Additionally, the cockpit is detachable and is equipped with two rocket propelled parachutes (main and back-up). The aircraft will have a very large recovery parachute and a smaller anti-stall parachute. [1] Mission 6 tested the safety systems with a drop test from 700 m (2,300 ft). One of the parachutes was opened to test the explosive bolts.

    The groups are largely free in their designs, although every rocket has to pass a final safety check, and the solid rocket motors for the rockets are provided by DARE. The project concludes with a launch day at a military testing range, where each design is put to the test. Testing of a drogue parachute by DARE in the Open Jet Facility of TU Delft

    The two remaining parachutes guided the booster to a rough landing, but it luckily sustained minimal damage. [30] The parachute lanyard design was changed as well to prevent repeat incidents. [30] According to NASA, partial parachute failures were common in Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters, from which the Ares I-X

    [19] [20] During launch, the rocket's parachute, which was designed for landing, appeared to deploy early and detach from the craft. [10] [21] A witness at the launch, freelance journalist Justin Chapman, said that the rocket appeared to rub against the launch apparatus and ladder, perhaps tearing the parachutes. [22]

    The first South African CanSat [26] was carried to height of 1650m, as payload aboard a High Power Rocket, [27] on 6 November 1999. Dubbed, ZACan-1, the Cansat was designed and built by Stéfan Stoltz and launched in the Roodewal FAR76 airspace (Limpopo Province) as part of a Technology Exhibition by the University of the North (now the ...
