MLRS
Multiple Launch Rocket System
The ultimate night launch experience - rockets synchronized to music, programmed by kids!
What Is MLRS?
A multi-tube launcher system with electronic firing control:
- 6+ launch tubes on a single platform
- Electronic solenoid triggers for each tube
- Computer-controlled sequencing
- Synchronized to music tracks
- LED rockets and glow sticks as payloads
The Launch Array
Multiple tubes at different angles for varied trajectories
Kids Program the Show! Students decide which rockets fire when, creating their own synchronized light show.
Programming the Sequence
- Choose a music track (we have options, or bring your own)
- Students use simple software to set launch times
- Drag and drop rockets to beats, drops, and crescendos
- Preview the sequence on screen
- Load the rockets and run the show!
