Block Properties¶
We are currently required to use a commercial solution. Both the booster and sustainer have an Altus Metrum TeleMega and EasyMega each. The EasyMega is just a TeleMega without any RF capabilities and will be serving as a backup flight computer. Both of these systems are running AltOS.
