Safety and parachute deployment system

Between test and test, today we want to show you how works our safety system.
In the next video you can see the analog circuit controlling the servo which locks the parachute deployment system. It is constantly checking three signals, one if the free-fall circuit triggers, another if we leave the flight footprint and the last in case of failure in one of the micro-controllers. The system also it is protected against itself, and in case of failure or loose of power, the servo triggers anyway unlocking the parachute.

And here, a system emulating the upper hatch of the SpaceFish that we showed in a previous new. The afternoon testing of the parachute deployment system was successful.

And more news about the SF1, it is suffering some modifications to take-off from a runway, we decided finally to add it a landing gear for testing here in ground. It is taking us a lot of time and resources to be on time and do the first successful flight of the SF1, but yes, we can!

Magnífico !
