Upon the need for the backup recovery system, a pyrodex ejection charge located behind the parachute will be ignited from a command given by the altimeter. This charge will force out the parachute, pushing the movable bulkhead out of the forward airframe with it. Since the shockcord is going to be traveling a large distance within the rocket, the shockcord will have a tennis ball around it to mitigate possible zippering of the rocket.
