Project Therion

Therion was the team's 2015-2016 entry into the IREC Basic Category. The rocket stood 11 feet, 8 inches and weighed 71 pounds at liftoff, flying on an M3400 White Thunder. The rocket incorporated a DBD plasma experiment, and an OpenCV optical flow experiment. Student-built composite tubes, fins, and flight computer (Pyxida) were also implemented. The design originally featured a parafoil recovery system in addition to the backup recovery system. The parafoil was ultimately not flown, but Therion reached an altitude of 9624 feet at the competition in Green River.
