Abstract

This document, written by Tim Van Milligan, provides a checklist for dual deployment in high power rocketry. It outlines the mandatory items needed for dual deployment, such as a dual deployment rocket kit, altimeter, igniters, ejection charges, chutes, motor, battery, and mounting hardware. Optional components, including shear pins, fasteners, and deployment bags, are also discussed, with caution advised due to increased complexity and cost. The document emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from a mentor and gaining a solid understanding of the basics before incorporating additional features. It further explains the benefits of using deployment bags and discusses the use of recovery harnesses, swivels, and quick links in the rocket's recovery system. The document concludes by stating that dual deployment requires careful planning and preparation but can lead to significant enjoyment of the hobby. [Extracted from the article]
