I'm looking for anyone's acceleration/time data of parachute deployments, especially main, on large rockets. Basically looking for good data of how many G's are pulled, and what that curve looks like during the deployment shock load. I'm working on a shock load mitigation system for a university rocket, but we lost acceleration data on past launches, so I need data to start characterizing the expected shock load without mitigation properly.
Ideally data would be logged from an accelerometer in the main airframe of the rocket, and the main parachute had been packed properly in a deployment bag. Preferably this rocket is an L3 or Class 3 sized rocket. Data in the form of a CSV file or just a high resolution plot would work. Thanks in advance.
