Drogue Pyro Test

Test firing of a single unit on the triply redundant drogue parachute release mechanism.

The pressure formed by the electrical ignition of the Ammonium Perchlorate Composite (APCP) charge forces a sabot at speed out of the firing tube.

The completed system has three such units, each ejects a small tightly-packed drogue parachute. Each drogue chute is independently capable of deploying the main parachute.
