2027 IREC Changes

• #6 shear pins, at least 4 (maybe 6?)
  • Do the actual math on drag separation forces and force generated, instead of just using what has worked in the past
  • Tighter shear pin holes with thread engagement.

Research vent holes in recovery tubes

What size, how many, do the math on what effect it has and how much we need it. Test Single separation, dual deploy system with tender descenders

• We need to figure out a lines diagram and do lots and lots of subscale testing for this, Cooper is willing to fly L3 at SOD in September/October (Sasha L3 ASAP)

Demonstrate repeatable successful deployment and recovery with flight testing. Chute bag VS SRAD Nomex SRAD ballistic drogue SRAD nose cone

Conical VS VK Laid up VS filament wound Payload in nose cone Motor assembled way before we go to IREC, need copies of closures and casing (last years?)
Test RC2 and RC3+ flight computers with charge authority. Better setup of recovery wiring

Avoid pinch points Thread retaining bolts and shear pins into bulkheads
