Parachute Design for Recovery System of RocketParachute Design for Recovery System of Rocket

The aim of this research is to design and fabricate the parachute for rocket recovery system. It is very important since it can save the cost of rocket fabricating and will also help the researcher to study the characteristics of flight analysis that have been brought back in the rocket by recovery system. There are six main testing were conducted which is Cruciform, Hemispherical, Semi-ellipsoidal, Octagonal, Round and Square shape. Deployment test was conducted to identify the real performance of parachute when subjected to load upon air velocity respectively.

• The objective of the project is to design, fabricate and testing for rocket recovery system.

• Identify the real performance of parachute with the presence of payload and air.
