Moments after reaching apogee, a parafoil will deployed from the nosecone of the Firestorm rocket. Structural and control lines of the parafoil will be secured on the exterior of the rocket. Using stepper motors and an XBee, the rocket will be monitored and controlled during descent. This includes real-time data monitoring of position, velocity, vertical speed, and system status as well as options to steer or flare the system. Initially, this will be limited to simple guidance motions such as left or right turns, or breaks using both airfoils.
