Line 117: − − ==[[Project Daedalus]]== − − Daedalus teaches the major design principles of high power rocketry with hands-on experience. Teams design and launch novel rocket concepts iteratively, starting with L1, L2 and finally ending with an L3 rocket that successfully flies the thoroughly tested design. The technology coming out of this project will benefit the Rockets Team’s flagship rocketry project. − − Daedalus is the overarching rockets project for the 2015-2016 year that is divided into 4 subteams as described below. − − === [[Pegasus]] === − − The purpose of Pegasus is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a parafoil recovery system to create a controlled, directed recovery for a high-powered rocket from over 10,000 ft. − − === [[Prometheus]] === − − The purpose of Prometheus is to demonstrate roll control of a payload descent using PID-controlled fins. − − === [[Talos]]/[[Kythera]] === − − Talos is the launch vehicle for Kythera, SSI’s first generation flight computer system which will feature a Raspberry Pi that reads data from sensors and communicates that data to Teensys (Arduino-based microcontroller) in addition to using radios to provide real time GPS, orientation, and video data. − − === [[Charybdis]] === − − The purpose of Charybdis is to demonstrate passive ascent stabilization using canted fins.
