Scientific paper

Small-scale sensor packages and parachutes manufactured for model rocket recovery were hand-dropped from within a building in order to gain familiarity with the descent kinematics of a planetary probe through an atmosphere. A number of parachute-probe systems ranging in size, shape, weight, riser length, and sensors were dropped while exterior video cameras and onboard sensor data were collected. Data extracted from the camera images were then compared with sensor data to gain familiarity with the data and corresponding motions of the system such as swing amplitude, rotation, descent rate, etc. These tests allowed for a more detailed look at parachute-probe dynamics and provided the starting point for the development of a simple parachute-probe model.
