Summary
Dave and Tim put the recovery system together. Here are some pictures!
TODO: Tim, write up notes!
Below is the line cutters, tied around the main bar in the air frame, with pyro lead wires coming out.
 |
These are the pyro leads (4 total) coming out of the nose-cone separation ring. Two leads will go to the main ARTS2 flight computer, the other 2 leads will go to a backup (TBD).
 |
We lined the inside of the recovery module with 1/4" foam sheet, in part due to the interior lip of the NSR, and in part to keep the contents from bulging out of the cut-outs of the module.

 |
The bottom part of the main chute webbing is in a slip-knot around the main bar.

For the chute cords, we run a long cord from the top of the bag, down thru the line cutter rope loop, up again, do a figure 8 know at the top, the doubled part of the line is wrapped in heat shrink, from there, we loosly wrap rubber bands round about 16 feet of line, tie into a quick-link, tie into the drogue bag, then go on to knot off on the nosecone. Roughly 25 feet of total line.

There's a thraded rod draw-bar to pull up on the top of the pusher while assembling the recovery system.
