Mount it in any orientation
Vega detects its mounting orientation automatically, reducing installation constraints and setup steps.
CATS Vega
Dual-deployment recovery, logging, and telemetry on one board.
Configure recovery and mission events, record flight data at 100 Hz, and transmit live telemetry from one compact flight computer.

Control the sequence
A configurable flight-state machine drives two pyrotechnic and two servo outputs.
Keep every detail
Onboard logging preserves flight data for review in CATS Flights after recovery.
Stay connected
2.4 GHz frequency-hopping telemetry links Vega with the CATS Ground Station.
Recovery, telemetry, and data
Configure deployment events, follow the flight, and keep the complete record.
Vega is a general-purpose rocket flight computer built around a configurable flight-state machine. It detects its mounting orientation automatically, then uses each flight phase to trigger the recovery and mission actions you assign to its two pyro channels, two servo channels, and additional I/O. Backup timers can add time-based triggers.
During flight, Vega sends altitude, vertical velocity, GNSS (GPS) coordinates, battery voltage, and the current flight phase to the CATS Ground Station at 10 Hz. The 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping link is paired with a link phrase, and Vega remains fully functional when no Ground Station is used.
At the same time, Vega records high-rate sensor and flight data to onboard flash. After recovery, connect the board to your computer and open the complete flight log in CATS Configurator or CATS Flights to review events, plots, and the GNSS trajectory.
