Line 3: + + + + + + + + − + − = Pegasus = − − The purpose of the [[Pegasus]] rocket 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 = − − [[Prometheus]] will use controllable canards to control the roll of the rocket on descent, allowing for both stabilized video footage and for extension into more demanding controls applications. − − − − = Talos = − − [[Talos]] will be a testbed for a new electronics suite, giving improved data acquisition, reliability, and communications to ground. The newly designed and tested electronics will then become standard on all other large rockets. − − − − − = Charybdis = − − [[Charybdis]] will use canted fins to spin stabilize the rocket on ascent, and then employ a yo-yo de-spin to halt the rotation and allow the parachutes to deploy.

Project Daedalus is SSI's experimental rocketry program, focused on developing exciting yet approachable technologies for Class 2 rockets. Currently, the project is composed of four teams, each of which are designing, building, and testing novel concepts. Each team will present at a Preliminary and a Critical Design Review, as well as test prototypes on rockets of increasing size and complexity. The four teams, and their projects, are as follows:
