About the team
The recovery team is responsible of the designing, manufacturing and testing the recovery subsystem of our rockets, whose function is to make sure that the vehicle returns to land safely, once its mission has been completed. Some examples of the tasks involved in designing this system are the selection of appropriate parachutes and cordages or the design and testing of the ejectors. Due to its nature, in order to design this system, we need to thoroughly collaborate with other departments, such as Mission Analysis (parachute selection for an appropriate descent rate), Aerostructure (integration of the system inside the fuselage of the vehicle) and Payloads (incorporation of deployable payloads in some of the recovery events).
