That is a fair point, thank you. I ran it through thrust curve to get the altitude estimate, and did some math for the free fall time. Really a guestimate on the deployment altitude, but 8 seconds is a long delay. I'm certain it will deploy before it hits the ground, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to determine exactly how high it will occurr or the speed at which it will go which would certainly affect the effectiveness and integrity of the chute. It will be launched after about 24 smaller rockets, so I'll have a good idea of its trajectory path. I'll see if I can gone in my math a little more before deciding on a go-no go.
