For many years, deceleration systems developed in an evolutionary fashion. This evolution needed flight test and experimental data. Concurrently, payload became much more expensive and needed to be safer. Today, there are a variety of methods employed to recover airborne bodies such as bio-capsules, reentry satellites, carrier missiles' boosters, reentry satellites, etc. Most of these methods make use of a parachute landing system in which recovery occurs in multiple phases. This paper studies the final phase of the subsonic recovery scenario for which a multi-phase deceleration system has been designed. To observe and evaluate system performance, a test projectile is designed that accelerates the payload to a certain velocity in order to test the recovery system. Finally, theoretical and test results are compared to indicate the appropriate design and reliable deceleration velocity in a space payload recovery.

For many years deceleration systems are developed in evolutionary fashion. This evolution needed flight test, and experimental data. This research deals with designing a deceleration system for a sounding rocket. It is mainly aimed at designing a universal deceleration system so that the payload touches the land with a safe velocity. To do so, first a deceleration system is designed for a 25kg payload in altitudes of less than 2km.Having considered flight equations for the sounding rocket and parachute, a number of parameters including recovery weight, landing time and velocity and maximum post-deployment acceleration have been computed for sounding rockets lighter than 250kg. Sensitivity analysis of the payload weight and recovery initiation velocity led to designing a universal deceleration system capable of recovering sounding rockets weighing between 25kg and 75kg with a landing velocity between l0 m/sec and 12m/ sec. Base on system engineering approach, universal deceleration subsystem is design for sounding rocket with various mass.

This paper describes an overview of the design, development and testing of a 94-ft Do, PolyConical, Light-Weight, Enhanced, Ringslot (PLER) parachute to be used in a cluster of three parachutes. This PLER parachute will support an air launch target system with an extracted weight of 42,000-lb, 40% heavier than the SRALT 1 system. The PLER parachute will be used in a cluster of three. The PLER parachute is being jointly developed by Coleman Aerospace Company (CAC) and Irvin Aerospace Inc (IAI). A number of design requirements followed by a trade study led to the conclusion that an Enhanced Ringslot parachute would best suit this application.
