Task Instructions
1. Reinstall parachute into parachute bay.
2. Route the Velcro retaining straps through the four retaining strap brackets. (Take Photo.)
3. Install parachute bridle (harness) to the large quick link. During removal, temporary zip ties and/or labels may have been used to mark harness “C” ends for reinstallation. Once the harness is reinstalled, remove these zip ties and/or labels.
a. Clean quick link with isopropyl alcohol, allow to dry fully.
b. Apply Loctite 242 to quick link threads.
c. Torque link to 240 in-lbs.
d. Clean exterior surface with isopropyl alcohol and apply torque stripe.
e. Take Photo of the deployment bag and three harnesses secured in the torqued quick link (with one torque stripe applied).
4. Inspect and clear parachute chamber of FOD.
5. Install wire lanyard from rocket to the smaller, fwd quick link which is still attached to the parachute. Ensure the opposite end of the incremental harness is connected to the deployment bag with a lark’s head knot.
a. Remove any labels and/or temporary zip ties.
b. Apply Loctite 242 to quick link threads. Torque to 60 in-lbs.
c. Clean exterior surface with isoproyl alcohol and apply torque stripe.
d. Take Photo of the quick link.
6. Route the rocket lanyard (already attached to the deployment bag) along side of the rocket assembly to determine the required length of lanyard. The rocket lanyard MUST NOT be routed under any other harness or structure. Once the required length of lanyard is determined, the remaining length should be “looped” (without knotting) and secured using 2x small BRS cable ties (PN-004025-01), so that they can be neatly stowed. Ensure that only BRS zip ties are used to secure the rocket lanyard. Ensure the opposite end of the incremental harness is connected to the deployment bag with a lark’s head knot. Secure rocket collar lanyard and incremental harness under the left side flap of the deployment bag, using installed Velcro fasteners at the top side of the deployment bag. (Take Photo.)
7. See Landing
Gear IPS Interface Test. Take a close-up picture of the parachute serial number and date(s). Take a picture of the completed parachute/rocket system.
