I hope it's not too much of a bother that I have 2 threads side by side
Currently I have a design featuring a single bay dual deployment, featuring a nosecone w/ payload at the top, then the recovery bay containing the parachutes, tenders, and a system (undecided) to pressurize the bay, with an avionics bay contained below featuring the flight computers and altimeters. The avionics bay has its own vent holes of course, but should the parachute bay have them as well?
The rocket is planned to fly to an altitude of 15+ km, and will have enough shear pins to (in theory) hold in the pressure difference of a sealed bay at that altitude, but is it better to be safe in that regard at the cost of potentially losing pressure during actuation? And if so, what are some rules to follow in regards to putting holes there and the reasoning for any specific numbers?
