4017 Development of Recovery System using a Parafoil for Amateur Rocket
Details
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the self-returning capability from high altitude using amateur rocket. A flier for the rocket experiment was designed with the aid of CATIA and examined by each test. The approach to the destination was divided into 2 phases (approach phase from high altitude and final phase to return to the destination). The flight strategy as approach phase was evaluated by estimations. As a result, flight method was determined and the present parafoil was developed. The deployment sequence using the balloon at an altitude of 30[m] was performed. Final phase navigation system near the target was developed and validated by the flight from over an altitude of 100[m]. The proper functions of the system were confirmed.
