With the help of a design student also upgraded the simple tube housing to a lockable, foam-insulated design to help it handle temperatures at high altitudes. This is done with a servo operated release mechanism, while steering is handled by a pair of modified winch servos intended for RC sailboats.Īll the electronics are mounted on a stack of circular 3D printed brackets which fit in a tubular housing, bolted together with threaded rods. The main canopy is packed carefully in a custom “Dbag”, which is attached to a drogue chute to stabilize the system during free-fall and deploy the main canopy at a preset altitude. is currently using a high-performance wing for RC paragliders.Ī lot of effort went into developing a reliable parachute deployment system. R2Home can fly using a variety of steerable canopies, even a DIY ram-air parachute, as demonstrated in an earlier version. R2Home electronics with its insulated enclosure Descending autonomously from a release altitude of 3500 m, with an additional radiosonde payload, it landed within 5 m of the launch point.
It just completed its longest and highest test flight. We first covered R2Home at the start of 2021, when he was still in the early experimental phases, but the project has matured massively since then.
To solve this created R2Home, an autonomous parachute-based recovery system that can fly a payload to any specified landing site within its gliding range. With high-altitude ballooning, you are at the mercy of the winds, which can move your payload hundreds of kilometers and deposit it in some inaccessible spot.
