BOOM! 💥 There it is, our flight termination system (FTS) in one of many tests to validate its performance and overall reliability for our Nova rocket program. (🔊 Sound on)

The FTS is a component of Nova's Autonomous Flight Safety System (AFSS) that continuously monitors the vehicle’s trajectory against pre-defined safety limits and autonomously commands termination if needed.
