Checkout Our Parachutes
Over the years, we have significantly expanded our parachute portfolio to support the full spectrum of rocketry applications—from 1,200-lb high-power launch vehicles to small 1-lb model rockets. At Rocketman Parachutes, we engineer recovery systems for every mission profile; no airframe is too large, too small, or too complex.
Our product line began with our Standard Parachutes, designed for stability, predictable descent rates, and reinforced construction capable of withstanding high dynamic loads. As the rocketry community advanced, new engineering requirements emerged, including compact packing volumes for head-end deployment systems and reduced mass for altitude-optimized vehicles. This led to the development of our Ultra-Light High-Performance series, which utilizes advanced textiles and low-bulk design principles for maximum efficiency in constrained airframe geometries.
For flyers seeking aerospace-inspired aesthetics and performance, we also engineered canopies modeled after NASA, SpaceX, and other multi-panel cluster configurations—optimized not just for appearance, but for consistent drag coefficients, symmetric inflation, and high stability during descent.
Today, Rocketman Parachutes support missions worldwide across a diverse range of aerospace and scientific platforms. Our systems have been flown on multiple space-shot's, including CSXT missions, SpaceX developmental projects, and Alan Eustace’s record-setting 135,000-ft stratospheric jump. Outside of rocketry, our parachutes have been deployed in NOAA oceanographic research for drift characterization and by the U.S. Navy for controlled deceleration and retrieval of maritime assets.
Every Rocketman parachute is manufactured in-house, enabling precise quality control, custom engineering, and rapid turnaround for time-critical missions. If you have a strict launch schedule or specific technical requirements, let us know—we will work closely with you to ensure your recovery system is flight-ready.
We look forward to supporting your next launch and contributing to a mission you’ll be proud of.
Recovery Needs
Our Recovery Packages for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 high-power rockets are purpose-built for reliable performance in demanding flight conditions. Each package includes key recovery components engineered for your high-power rocketry flight: a drogue parachute for high-altitude stabilization, a main parachute for final descent, fireproof Kevlar shock cords sized for expected deployment loads, deployment bags for controlled parachute extraction, and flight-rated hardware such as quick links and eyebolts.
Every component is selected according to the rocket’s mass, airframe diameter, apogee altitude, and certification class. As total impulse and airframe size increase, our packages scale accordingly—utilizing stronger textiles, higher-rated hardware, and compatibility with electronic dual-deployment systems commonly used in mid- and high-altitude flights.
These recovery kits are ideal for NAR and Tripoli certification flights, offering proven reliability for L1, L2, and L3 attempts. They are equally suited for experienced flyers building everyday high-power missions. Each kit is pre-matched and optimized, eliminating the guesswork and providing a ready-to-fly recovery system with exceptional value.
HAB Parachutes and Accessories
Welcome to Rocketman High-Altitude Weather Balloon Systems. Our recovery and flight-support products have been integrated into thousands of weather balloon missions worldwide, supporting educational programs, research institutions, and advanced stratospheric experiments. We’re here to assist with any technical questions to ensure your ascent and recovery operations are executed safely and successfully.
High-altitude ballooning is a powerful platform for scientific exploration—enabling payloads to reach near-space altitudes, capture Earth’s curvature, observe the transition to the darkness of space, and collect atmospheric or environmental data throughout the ascent profile.
Rocketman supplies a complete suite of HAB hardware engineered for reliability in extreme conditions. In addition to our purpose-built Weather Balloon Parachutes, we manufacture precision inflation systems, high-strength shock cords, offer premium Kaymont latex balloons, and produce fully integrated HAB Flight Kits containing every critical component required for a successful launch, tracking, and recovery sequence.
Whether you're conducting a STEM project, a stratospheric research mission, or a high-altitude photography flight, our systems are designed to perform in low temperatures, low pressures, and variable winds throughout the entire flight envelope.
We’re excited to support your next mission to the edge of space.
Bargain Bin
Welcome to the Rocketman Bargain Bin, the launchpad for anyone looking to snag high-quality recovery gear at a stellar price. The parachutes you’ll find here may be extras from large production runs, unique one-off color schemes created during custom builds, prototypes that never made it to full production, or gear that’s been waiting in the hangar for its next mission. Sometimes we also list products we just feel like giving rocketeers a special deal on.
New recovery systems and accessories will continue to rotate through this page as we sort through inventory, build new batches, and test new products. Check back often—you never know when a premium Rocketman chute might touchdown here at a greatly reduced price.
