The objective of Charybdis is to demonstrate spin stabilization and de-spin of a rocket using canted fins and a de-spin unit.
The objective of Charybdis is to demonstrate spin stabilization and de-spin of a rocket using canted fins and a de-spin unit.
==Flight Events Overview==
# Canted fins induce spin during launch
# Before apogee, de-spin unit stops rocket’s spin
# At apogee, drogue chute deploys
# Rocket descends and main chute deploys
== Success Criteria ==
== Success Criteria ==
The mission will be considered successful if the rocket unit reaches spin stabilization, demonstrates successful de-spin prior to reaching apogee. The rocket must be recovered intact and reusable and pass the L3 certification inspection authorized by Tripoli.
