My only question is how was the parachute deployed and attached?

Hey,

Ok so I have several questions if you could kindly take out few minutes to answer them I would highly appreciate it

1) I needed a J-pole antenna for 900Mhz for the balloon? Do you have any idea if you used any antenna for the balloon?
2) Did you use like a canvas bag or something for the capsule?
3) I needed to design a bird cage kinda thing for my parachute that will be attached to the capsule, I needed to know exact details on how you attach the parachute? (How do you tie it up, how do you know it will unfold etc.)

Thanks a lot

I used three 18″ parachutes, hoping that if one failed, I had two as a backup. What ended up happening though is everything looked to have gotten tangled on the ascent.

I would recommend anyone attempting launches, properly secure their “payload” with more than one string from the suspension device. The more anchor points, the less likely to twist up the cord.
