Hi,
I am brand new to this forum, so huge apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place.
I am a member of a new university team (based in the UK) and we are planning to launch a solid-state rocket.
One issue that we are encountering is the parachute deployment and trying to understand motor specs. Does a motor like the G80-7 (https://wizardrockets.co.uk/product/g80-7-or-10/) contain an ejection charge, and if it does, does the delay indicate the amount of time it takes before it is discharged? If this is the case, is there anywhere that we can find the statistics for the strength of this charge? We are most likely not going for this motor (as it is very powerful), but I am not sure if this is not possible. If an ejection charge is not in the motor how would you go about doing the release mechanism it appears to be very difficult to obtain the black powder in the uk.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
