I'm picturing a rocket with a mylar balloon that inflates via ejection charge gases. The balloon would act similar to a streamer and slow descent, though if the rocket ends up being too large, may have to be combined with a parachute. Has anyone attempted this?
Issues to be solved would include:
- ducting the gases into the balloon
- preventing the hot fuel particles from burning/melting the balloon and ducting mechanism
- sealing the balloon to keep the gases trapped
I'm sure there are others!
Anyone see a way forward here or is this just a fancy balloon dream?
Thanks!
