We will conduct research into the deployment sequence to mitigate possible failures, ensure a stable descent, and help inform our camera choices.
Chute Inflation
To inform our choice of camera, we need to gather information on chute deployment and inflation rates.

- Avionics system apogee detection response time
- Webbing lengths (example: if the drogue parachute is loosely held in the booster section, full line extension will draw it out)
- Deployment event energy (example: after a non-energetic deployment event, such as we saw in ground tests 1 and 2, the bodies may need more time to achieve sufficient distance from one another to pull the drogue parachute out)
