Structures & Recovery is responsible for the design, manufacturing, testing, and implementation of the subscale flight vehicle recovery separation mechanism, avionics bay, parachutes, nose cone, fins, airframe, structure, and sub-subscale test-flights. The development of the sub-subscale test rocket is a joint effort between the S&R and Avionics subteams. All of these crucial components ensure the rocket's smooth and stable ascent toward apogee and its controlled descent upon reaching the target altitude.

The HALE Avionics sub-team is in charge of the electronics and software used to operate the flight vehicle and vertical test stand. The Avionics team creates PCBs used for prototyping and final products, manages rocket to ground communication, and is in charge of recording and transmitting all sensor data during flight. Most importantly, this team controls the deployment of the two parachutes that make up our recovery system. CETUS will fly with over 10 custom made PCBs made by the avionics subteam.

The Test and Launch subteam is responsible for the design, manufacturing, and operation of HALE's mobile testing and launch platform capable of supporting both the subscale MIRA 2 flight vehicle and the eventual full scale flight vehicle. This test stand will is capable of remotely fuelling and emptying the flight vehicle, holding the flight vehicle securely for vertical static testing, and functioning as a mobile launch platform. This subteam is responsible for all fluid systems on the test and launch trailer, physical structures (supports, launch rail, etc.), the electronics for reading sensors and controlling valves, the software capable of interpreting, storing, and displaying data, and all launch and testing operations.
