High Altitude Balloon Parachutes

Rocketman High-Altitude Balloon (HAB) Payload Recovery Parachutes

Rocketman Parachutes designs and manufactures all of our parachutes in-house, and our systems have successfully flown on thousands of HAB missions worldwide. We work with educators, universities, government agencies, and individual hobbyists, helping send scientific payloads safely to the edge of space. With Rocketman, the sky is no longer the limit—anyone can successfully launch a HAB!

Key Features:

• Durable Canopy: Made from low-porosity 1.1 oz Ripstop Nylon for reliable, consistent inflation in near-space conditions.

• Secure Attachment: Includes a reinforced apex loop to attach to the balloon neck; payload hangs safely from the canopy risers.

• Controlled Deployment: Quick, soft deployment with positive, stable inflation, and adjustable descent using the cord lock (pat#5472394).

• Shroud Lines: Four nylon shroud lines sewn 6″ up the canopy reduce tangling and eliminate the need for line spacers.

• Enhanced Stability: Polyconical design provides superior stability over flat parachutes, even in high-altitude, low-pressure conditions.

• Reinforced Edges: Canopy edges reinforced with nylon tape and webbing for durability during repeated launches.

• Professionally Designed: Engineered for safe, repeatable recovery of HAB payloads at a fair price.

• USA Made: All materials and manufacturing are USA-made.

• Visual Options: Canopy colors may vary for visibility and tracking during descent.

Rocketman HAB parachutes are optimized for scientific payload recovery, ensuring reliable, safe, and repeatable performance for near-space missions, educational projects, and research flights.

The top reinforced loop on canopy of parachute, attaches to the weather balloon (with shock cord in between). Allows for a strong attachment point, can be attached in seconds.

Our Weather Balloon Chutes are only 4 lines, no worrying about tangling or twisting of the lines. Also included is a cord lock, which can be slid up the parachute for lighter payloads or on windier days to increase decent rate. Easy attachment loop to hook Payload onto.
