Altus Metrum announces Wireless Launch Control System Announcing TeleLaunch
We're pleased to announce the availability of a new wireless launch control system, TeleLaunch. The system initially consists of two new products, TeleLCO and TeleFireEight. TeleLCO can control up to 99 TeleFire boxes, with up to 8 channels each, for a total of up to 792 launch rods/rails. TeleLaunch uses Altus Metrum's robust wireless technology originally developed for telemetry from our flight computers, augmented with AES cryptographic checksums to maximize the safety of launch operations. TeleLCO provides visible indication of channel continuity on the currently selected TeleFire box, and supports both individual launches and drag races. TeleLCO uses an internal LiPo battery that charges with a USB cable, and is packaged in a bright orange Pelican box. TeleFireEight supports up to 8 launch rods/rails, and has a built-in sealed-lead-acid battery for easy setup and use. Each unit has a hard SAFE/ARM switch that completely disconnects pyro power for safety, includes a continuous display of continuity, and has both a strobe light and siren to convey arming status. TeleFire is packaged in a mil-spec 50-cal steel ammo box painted bright orange, and outputs are via US-standard AC electric outlets with weather-protecting covers. Each TeleLaunch system ships with everything needed to be fully functional out of the box, except for per-rail/rod clip leads. More information can be found online at http://altusmetrum.org/TeleLaunch TeleLaunch products will be available only through the shop.gag.com web store, and are available to order now. Unlike other Altus Metrum products, TeleLaunch components are assembled in small batches and thus may not always be ready to ship immediately. _______________________________________________ altusmetrum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gag.com/mailman/listinfo/altusmetrum
