The Deployment Flight Settings Pages
Each of the deployment channels has a specific purpose:
◦ Drogue – Deploys a recovery device near the apogee of flight
◦ Main – Deploys a recovery device at a specified altitude during descent
OR
Deploys a recovery device if the FailSafe conditions are met
◦ AUX – Drogue Mode: Deploys a recovery device near the apogee of flight
OR
Main Mode: Deploys a recovery device at a specified altitude during descent
OR
Airstart Mode: Triggers at a specified time after launch detect
Drogue Settings
The Drogue Settings page is accessed by clicking on the “Change” link next to the Drogue status
on the Status page. When you click on the link, you’ll see this page:
Drogue Delay (OFF, 0-3.0 by 0.1 sec, 4-30 sec by 1 sec)
The purpose of this settting is to set the delay from nose-over for firing the drogue, or to turn it
off completely. For most dual-deployment flights, you’ll probably want the drogue to fire as
close to apogee as possible, in the Quasar this would be approximately one second after apogee.
That’s what we call “nose-over”, since it’s pretty much guaranteed that your rocket is pointing
downward. There’s also a low-velocity check, your rocket has to be going relatively slowly
