Our controllers are designed to be passively safe. There is no action that may be taken at the launch pads that could result in a launch. Continuity checks at the pads only require connection to the Power Pack. Launch may only commence when:
- the controller and console are connected,
- the launch safety key is turned to ON,
- both units are set to ARM.
A siren sounds to warn people in the area that the system is in an ARMed condition and that a rocket launch is in progress.
