High, Mid, and Low Power Rocket Parachutes

Rocketman Standard Parachutes

Our Standard Parachutes are the original Rocketman recovery chutes, designed for low-, mid-, and high-powered rockets. These parachutes combine simplicity, durability, and precision performance, making them a trusted choice for rocket recovery at every level.

Key Features:

• Certification Ready: Preferred for Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA) and National Association of Rocketry (NAR) Level 1–3 certified flights.

• High-Performance Materials: Made from 1.1 oz low porosity ripstop nylon, engineered to withstand deployment forces without tearing. All seams are reinforced with ½″ webbing for maximum durability.

• Stable Descent: Optimized with a drag coefficient of 0.97 across all sizes, ensuring predictable parachute deployment and smooth recovery.

• Four-Line Design: Reduces the risk of line tangling while maintaining full canopy efficiency.

• Deployment Compatible: Includes a top loop for secure attachment to deployment bags, flame shields, or rocket nose cones.

• Always in Stock: Available in all standard sizes; custom colors available for an additional charge.

Applications: Ideal for certification flights, high-power rockets, experimental builds, and general recovery, these parachutes are a reliable backbone of your rocket’s recovery system, providing safe and repeatable performance for every launch.
