Ligne 1 : − == Introduction ==+ − The CanSat use a parachute to slow it down when getting back to the earth. Otherwise the CanSat would crash! − The parachute is also used to maintain the CanSat in the proper position to properly orientate the antenna! This is essential to receive telemetry data. − − The [https://www.narom.no NAROM site in Norway] did publish "The CanSat Book" containing lot of useful information. − − The most interesting parts concerns [https://www.narom.no/undervisningsressurser/the-cansat-book/the-primary-mission/parachute-design/ the Parachute Design]. − − == Parachute opening & tenseness == − The process of parachute opening and air flow capturing is a violent process. The tenseness on the fabric, wire, hook may be really impressive at the opening. − − So you need to select strong fibres and realise strong assemblies. The ideal materials are those used for human parachute (Nylon Cord, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripstop Ripstop Nylon]). − − == Fundamentals parameters == − The followings parameters are primary values to use when designing the CanSat's parachute. − − * '''Mass''' : between 300gr and 350gr. − * '''Velocity''' : between 8 m/s and 11 m/s (about 29 Km/H and 40 Km/H). − * '''Drag Coefficient''' : the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient drag coefficient] depends on the parachute shape and the fluid used (''Air'' in this case). − − === Drag Coefficient === − * Semi Spherical Parachute : 1.5 (narom), − * Cross Shape Parachute : 0.8 − * Flat, Hexagone Parachute : 0.8 − − [[Fichier:ENG-CANSAT-PARACHUTE-20.png]]<small><br />Source: [https://www.launchwithus.org/lwu-blog/2016/02/17/parachute-size-estimator-for-high-altitude-balloons Parachute Size Estimator]</small> − − == Resources == − * [http://www.nakka-rocketry.net/paracon.html Parachute Design and Construction] by Richard Nakka − * [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/c4ab65df2b61279e33d7ee72b/files/HAB_Parachute_Size_Estimator_v1.0.xlsx Parachute Size Estimator tool] using imperial unit system ([https://www.launchwithus.org/lwu-blog/2016/02/17/parachute-size-estimator-for-high-altitude-balloons Launchwithus.org])<br />See [https://www.launchwithus.org/lwu-blog/2016/02/17/parachute-size-estimator-for-high-altitude-balloons this article which explains how to use it]. − * [www.sunward1.com/imagespara/The%20Mathematics%20of%20Parachutes%28Rev2%29.pdf The Mathematics of Parachute] (pdf). − − == Flat Parachute == − The most common paratyte
