(ROL Newswire) -- RCS Rocket Motor Components (RCS), Inc. is pleased
to announce it is now an authorized dealer for the Rouse-Tech line of
CD3 Rocket Recovery Deployment Devices. The Rouse-Tech system uses a
small sealed black powder charge and piston to puncture a CO2 cylinder,
thereby releasing a large volume of cool gas to deploy a parachute or
other recovery device. The system is especially effective when used in
rockets reaching altitudes in excess of 20,000 feet. At those altitudes
and beyond, black powder and other pyrotechnic charges have demonstrated
a tendency to burn erratically or "snuff out" due to the low ambient
pressure. The Rouse-Tech device is designed to function reliably in a
vacuum. Several different sizes are available for use in a wide variety
of rocket vehicles. The Rouse-Tech system was recently used in John
Rockdale's record setting 2-stage 'M'-class flight to 44,958 feet at the
Black Rock Desert near Gerlach, Nevada.
