The Rocketry Organization of California (ROC) is sponsoring the HMC ROC clinic team to design, build, and test a multi-channel, wireless launch-control system. This new system should facilitate the setup and cleanup of each launch by eliminating the long cables used in the current system. Additionally, it will provide flexibility in the layout and positioning of launch pads at launches requiring more separation for larger and more complex rockets.
