There are two landing procedures possible with this rocket. The first is by flaring the parafoil upon the approach of the ground, similar to how airplanes and skydivers land. This would be performed by using the “breaking” procedure described in the Guidance section. The second is by deploying the backup parachute. This option would be used if the ability to flare the parafoil is deemed ineffective by prior testing. The backup parachute would then be deployed at around 600ft. This height would give the parachute enough time to decrease the speed of the rocket to an acceptable landing speed of 20 <math>ft/s</math>.
