PAYLOAD MODULES

SpaceForest offers three different payload modules (PM) to accommodate different payload volumes. The PM will be provided to the customer to mount their payload and send it back to SpaceForest for integration before a flight. Payloads can be sent directly to SF to handle the mounting and integration as well.

RECOVERY

The recovery system of PERUN is one of the main subsystems that guarantee the project’s successful operation. Following the reusability concept, the rocket is to be guided back using controlled parachutes to land within the predetermined landing zone.

COMMUNICATION

The autonomous tracking and data exchange system RASEL allows for reliable, long-distance communication with a rocket and continuous monitoring of the vehicle and payload parameters. The rocket position is continuously transmitted to the flight control center to ensure flight safety and quick recovery after landing. The communication system will also be used to download or upload data from the payload in real-time.
