= Pegasus =
[[Pegasus]] will be a parafoil recovery system, allowing accurate and controlled descent.
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 =
[[Prometheus]] will use controllable canards to control the roll of the rocket on descent.
[[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 =
[[Talos]] will be a testbed for a new electronics suite, giving improved data acquisition, reliability, and communications to ground
[[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 =
[[Charybdis]] will use spin stabilization on ascent, and then de-spin before parachutes are deployed
[[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.
