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, all while earning rocketry certifications. The four teams, and their projects, are as follows:
Pegasus: a parafoil recovery system, allowing accurate and controlled descent
Prometheus: roll control on descent, using external fins
Talos: an electronics suite for improved data acquisition, reliability, and communication
Charybdis: spin stabilization on ascent, and then de-spin before parachutes are deployed
