If you have any additional information on this rocket and/or catalog photos please let us know.

Could you please explain what is meant by both parachute and streamer recovery. Do you just switch them out or does this actually use both at once?

Both at once for MAXIMUM protection.:wink: (You can kind of see it in action in this pic.)
