by TARC teams that want to experiment with electronic deployment but can’t use pyrotechnics,
or for flights over 30,000’ in which pyro charges may not be as effective.
In addition to deployment functions, the Quasar can also be used to “airstart” additional motors
in flight, either for “strap on” boosters or for starting a second stage motor. It works as a timer
that starts at launch, and can be qualified with velocity-at-time and/or altitude at time. This
helps ensure that your second stage won’t light unless your rocket is going “up”. Since those
functions are highly specialized, there’s an additional manual for airstart functions… you can
find it in the Eggtimer Rocketry web site under Eggtimer Quasar Support/Documentation.
