One way to predict things is to look at videos of drogue or tumble recovery experienced by other rockets. We have summarized the findings in the table below:
Video Link | Falling Configuration | Notes | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Tumble Recovery | Mostly horizontally, at a bit of an angle | |||
Therion Flight Test 1 | Mostly horizontally, at a bit of an angle, tumbles around a lot | Under drogue with similar drag to body |
Drogue
The drogue has a CdS of (this is at Mach 0.137) 0.662 m2.
