S.A. Power Rotorchute V1 is inspired by model rocket S9 class which uses helicopter-like blades for descent. A great advantage of this approach is the possibility to control the drag via controlling blade angle.
Instructions: after aerobraking, start unfolding the rotor via Slider 1, starting from 30-50% and slowly increasing angle to get 90% at 4-5 km. While in space, you can use Slider 2 to open the heat shield and use the docking port. This device may find use in reusable, even interplanetary probes, or high-accuracy deployment systems.
