This is the avionics bay with dual flight computers and CO2 canisters for chute deployment:
And the moment of firing of the smaller one to separate the airframe at the midpoint and deploy the drogue at apogee:
A bit of nail biting as she was falling fast on drogue (as designed, to minimize wind drift)… The on board computers need to fire the El Grande CO2 canister to deploy the main parachute at 800 ft…. Big cheers when we hear the boom, and see the perfect stack coming down slow and soft:
As found, with Razorback Ridge in the distance:
Uncoupling the kevlar cords for transport
Loading it into the truck
Driving back to the flight line at the sun sets…
We were the last launch of the day.
