Hi everyone, The last of the ground tests for the parachute was successful. You can see pictures and video, including a neat 1200fps slow motion video of the parachute being pulled out at:
http://psas.pdx.edu/news/2009-03-22/ Next step is a full recovery system test with parachutes, separation ring, and a custom pyrotechnic node which we'll flight test by tossing it off some, uh, very high place :) We'll discuss that test this Tuesday; Frank, we're interested in videotaping what happens by strapping the DVR and camera to the body.. could you please bring both then so we can discuss it? Thanks. Take care, Andrew -- ------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Greenberg Portland State Aerospace Society (http://psas.pdx.edu/) and...@psas.pdx.edu P: 503.788.1343 C: 503.708.7711 ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ psas-team mailing list psas-team@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-team This list's membership is automatically generated from the memberships of the psas-airframe, psas-avionics, and psas-general mail lists.
