Astronav: Live Telemetry for Model Rocket Launches
At Astronav we aim to enhance the experience and safety of model rocket launches. Recently we conducted a test flight showcasing the Astronav system’s ability to monitor and display flight data in real time. This video demonstrates how the system works in practice and what you can expect.
What Happens During the Test Flight?
The test begins by installing the Astronav module inside the model rocket. This module measures and records key flight data such as altitude, speed and total flight duration. Once the rocket is launched the module wirelessly transmits this data to a handheld base station.
During the flight the live data appears instantly on the base station’s screen allowing you to track exactly how high the rocket flies how fast it ascends and how long the flight lasts. This real time insight is not only exciting but also crucial for analysis and safety.
Why Is This Important?
Real time Monitoring: See your rocket’s performance live helping you evaluate the flight and spot any irregularities.
Safety: Access to flight data improves risk assessment an important factor in model rocketry.
Ease of Use: The handheld base station is compact and user friendly making it accessible for hobbyists students and makers alike.
What Makes Astronav Unique?
Astronav is designed with hobbyists and makers in mind. The system is modular and expandable allowing customization to fit your specific projects. Besides measuring and transmitting flight data it also supports logging for later review.
Live wireless telemetry adds a new dimension to rocket launches making them more interactive and educational.
