PAYLOAD
CHASER is RPL’s first-ever payload capsule, designed to separate from the rocket at apogee and be recovered separately. The capsule carried an integrated avionics system that recorded flight data and managed recovery deployment, as well as an onboard camera that captured video throughout its flight. The successful flight serves as the first step toward more advanced payload missions.
The capsule remained fully intact and functional when recovered
