Luna — Guided Parafoil Recovery

Autonomous guided parafoil recovery for a rocketry team: steer a deployed parafoil back to the launch pad under wind disturbances.

Path	Description
`guided_parachutes.md`	Project context, design principles, roadmap
`parafoil_sim/`	High-fidelity 6-DOF Python simulator + LTV-QP MPC (no MATLAB)
`algo/mpc_v1/`	Legacy MATLAB MPC reference
`rocket/`	Rocket / OpenRocket design assets
`presentation/`	Editable MPC technical-review deck (`.pptx`) + generator script

Quick start (Python simulator)

cd parafoil_sim
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python run_sim.py --scenario steady_wind
