    摘要: A UAV includes: a rocket body, having a rocket motor and a payload section; a parachute coupled with the payload section; an image capture device; a magnetometer to provide a compass reference for images taken from the image capture device; and a transmitter to communicate image and compass data to a remote receiver. Compass bearings are overlaid on image data from the image capture device. A handheld launch unit includes an ignition system, having an activation mechanism and an igniter to activate the rocket motor. A safety pin prevents electrical current from flowing to the igniter until the pin is removed. An accelerometer and/or magnetometer determines an angular orientation of the UAV. Software verifies that the angle is within a user-defined safety limit before activating the igniter.
