This is a single rod model rocket launch control system. The system utilizes the Arduino Uno/Nano to report on local weather conditions (temperature, humidity, barometric pressure). The system also provides a 10-second countdown when the fire button is pressed.

The system meets and exceeds the NAR Safety Code standard for model rocket launch systems as it incorporates a removable key to block the flow of power to the launch pad. It incorporates an additional two-button safety system to ensure that a launch is conducted exactly at the desired time.

This release marks Version 1 of the system. It is designed to be modular so that it can be easily modified in the future.

This project makes a great entry into electronics, Arduino and model rocketry. As such it is ideal for use in schools and youth organizations.
