Ozark Aerospace ARTS Flight Computer

The Ozark ARTS flight computer is a new recording altimeter with many advanced features previously unavailable in an affordable package.

  • 2 fully programmable output channels for chute deployments, air start, staging, etc. can be configured to fire after any detected flight event (launch, motor burnout, apogee, programmable altitude) with an optional time delay after selected event

  • Accelerometer as well as Barometric operation (immune to mach effects)

  • Recording sample rate selectable from 10Hz to 200Hz.

  • Two separate memory banks, you can fly twice before downloading data

  • 82 seconds recording time at 200 Samples/Sec or a maximum of 26 minutes at 10 Samples/Sec

  • Terminal port for data download (download cable included)

  • Two programmable flight profiles stored on board (switch selectable at flight time)

  • Audible output channel continuity check and beeps maximum altitude on landing

  • GPS support via RS232 interface for easy connection to any RS232 NMEA2.0 GPS

  • Small foot print:  3.75”L x 1.4”W  Fits in an 1.5” airframe

  • Two mounting options using #4 or #6 screws (#6 screws and standoffs included)

  • 9 – 15V DC operation, works great on a single 9V battery

  • AUX port for expansion boards, such as telemetry downlinks (coming soon)

  • Includes advanced data analysis software.  Graphs flight data, calculates motor thrust curves (Great for EX motors!) and drag coefficients (CD), offers easy export of data in text format for Excel or other programs. 

  • Manufacture support via email list server.  We listen to your input!  Help shape the things to come!

 

 

Charge Released Locking Mechanism


Tether is a small but strong retaining device released by a reloadable pyrotechnic charge.
Tether is machined from 7075 aluminum with all stainless steel components.
Tether only weighs 1.7 ounces prepped, fits in a 38mm airframe, and is able to hold and release under 500 pounds of load.
Tether has many uses, but its most popular use is to achieve two-stage recovery with one compartment.
You can modify any existing altimeter-controlled rocket, without structural modification, to take advantage of drogue-at-apogee/low-altitude-main deployment, on the range and in just minutes.
Tether was the 2001 winner of WildHobbies.com Reader Choice Award for Rocketry Innovation of the Year.

Tether is manufactured in the United States of America
