Deployment Hardware
Rocketman Parachutes now carries Tinder Rocketry's Piranha Kit, TD-2, and the Peregrine CO₂ Ejection System—three highly engineered deployment and retention mechanisms designed for rockets, drones/UAVs, and high-altitude weather balloons. These systems provide reliable, controlled separation forces and ensure consistent activation in a wide range of atmospheric and thermal environments.
The Piranha Kit offers a compact, mechanically triggered release system ideal for dual-deployment rockets, small UAV payload drops, and precision instrument deployment. Its lightweight construction and positive-locking mechanism make it suitable for both hobbyist and research-grade vehicles.
The TD-2 is a rugged, high-strength tether-cutting device engineered for missions requiring redundant retention or staged deployment. With its proven reliability in extreme temperatures, vibration, and high-altitude conditions, the TD-2 is commonly used in sounding rockets, balloon payload recovery systems, and experimental aerospace projects.
The Peregrine CO₂ Ejection System utilizes a high-pressure CO₂ cartridge to deliver a clean, instantaneous ejection force for parachutes, payloads, or separation modules. Its consistent output makes it ideal for high-altitude ballooning, heavy-lift drones, and high-energy rocket deployments, where traditional black-powder ejection may be undesirable or restricted.
Together, these systems expand Rocketman Parachutes’ capabilities in offering turn-key deployment solutions, ensuring that whether you are launching a rocket, flying a multirotor, or ascending to near-space altitudes, you have a mission-proven, repeatable, and safe method for activating your recovery or payload systems.
