JARVIS I marked the 2nd attempted rocket flight with on-board electronics for the 2015-2016 year. Flight takeoff was nominal, however, at apogee, the drogue parachute did not deploy, nor did the main chute deploy at any lower altitude. Upon recovery, it was determined that the nose cone was ejected, which helped to increase drag substantially so the rocket did not lawn dart but fell laterally instead. The Raven was operational even after recovery, and the data retrieved from the altimeter concurred with the physical evidence that all ejection chargers successfully fired. The most reasonable hypothesis for the parachute ejection failure was that the size of the ejection charges was simply undersized.
