High Altitude Balloon Payload Recovery Parachutes

Rocketman Enterprise Inc. Designs and manufactures parachutes that are use for the recovery of scientific payloads from high altitude balloon flights. The parachutes come with a loop sewn on the apex of  the chute that is used to attach it to the base of the balloon. The payload hangs from the risers of the open parachute. The Rocketman chutes have been successfully used hundreds of times, including a 75 lb recovery from over 380,000 feet. Call Rocketman Enterprise at 952-881-6260 for availably or if ordering outside the US, please call for shipping and handling charges.

Bespoke is old hat. Off-the-shelf is in. Even Google runs the world’s biggest and scariest server farms on computers home-made from commodity parts. DIY is cheaper and often better, as Justin Lee and Oliver Yeh found out when they decided to send a camera into space. Click here to read the rest of the story.

Rocketman's Payload Recovery Parachute


Unmanned Ballon


Stratosphere

June 21, 2010 / Successful test flight

On June 21 I launched a 1,200g weather balloon to 93,757 feet. The rig
included one of your five foot parachutes. We recovered the parachute
and capsule. The photos are online at

Thanks for your wonderful parachutes!
