CO2 Ballistic Parachute Deployment Systems
Simple CO2 deployment for use on any Rocket or UAS
These systems are compact CO2 release devices that can be used to pressurize a parachute canister or compartment. Attach this to your parachute compartment and you have a complete CO2 deployment system.
CO2 has the advantage of being clean and cool. Unlike pyro consumable deployment methods, CO2 deployment won't melt holes in your parachute. We still recommend some sort of protection for the parachute, such as a Nomex Blanket, or a Parachute Liner. These help protect the parachute from mechanical abrasion and damage.
Hawk CO2 Release
The Hawk CO2 Release, pictured below, is an all mechanical system that requires no pyro consumables in order to operate, so it does not have regulatory issues and can be used world wide. Download the Hawk Users Guide.

Peregrine CO2 Deployment Device
We have the Tinder Rocketry Peregrine CO2 Release Valve. This is similar to the Rouse Tech CD3 device but is re-engineered to take it up to the next level! This system supports 8 and 12 gram CO2 cartridges.
The image below shows the 8g / 12g Peregrine CO2 System Kit, which comes complete with everything needed for two units!

Eagle CO2 Deployment Device
The Eagle is designed for easy use and works with any 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch threaded CO2 cartridge. It's a highly versatile system and can be mounted completely inside the avionics bay. It's also immune to acceleration, regardless of the mounting orientation.
