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:

  1. the controller and console are connected,

  2. the launch safety key is turned to  ON,
  3. 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.
