High-Level Project Summary
We have chosen a challenge “Let it go” that discusses the problem of cutting reefing line of parachute of space shuttle without explosion and we get a solution of using a mechanical separation device which consists of a cylinder that is 15cm height and 2cm diameter and weights 750grams, it contains a piston with a spring around the connecting rod shaft of the piston, also the piston crown has a locker with a spring built in. So, when we need to deploy the parachute, the locker is released from the rocket controllers and the piston is free to move. This way is safer than violent, high-shock events. This solution is adaptable as it can bear with temperature difference (-50C to +80C)

Detailed Project Description
our project works efficiently and it stands with temperature differences ,our hole project weights 750grams and move smoothly
it works rapidly ,it is a small device as 2cm diameter and 15 cm height it works without explosion and safier
Space Agency Data
I used my references mainly form Nasa Agency and it contains a huge amount of information it inspired me a lot and makes me more interesting in studing space
Hackathon Journey
It was a great experience as it changed my interests and after more and more I search about much more details I've collected a great knowledge about space shuttles and its separation mechanisms. about stages and explosions in bodies of rockets
me and my team was inspired about this challenge after reading resources and watching videos we discussed a a lot with each other to get a mechanism that we used in our solution
