Find drogue Cd

Maydew gives Cd_0 = .53-.58, Dc/D0 = .73, and Dp/D0 = .65 (15).

Clark and Tanner say "It was typically assumed" that Dp/D0 = 2/3 (12). They do not give Cd anywhere, however they cite a number of papers that my give it.

Lingard has charts with Cd vs M for a number of geometric parameters (55-58). They range from .3-.6 in the subsonic range, .5-.2 in the transonic range, and .3-.5 in the supersonic range. I'm not sure what all of the geometric parameters are or what Cd is with respect to.

Size drogue

As of December 12, the mass budget says the rocket will be about 95lb dry.
