| Power |
- Provided by two Freefly SuperLight batteries.
- Battery voltage bus runs between 18 and 25.2 volts.
- In an emergency, the drone can fly and land safely with one battery.
- Bench Mode: Astro will only arm its motors with two batteries. For safe benchtop testing and non-flight tasks, connect just one battery. However, Bench mode does not replace the absolute safety of removing the propellers.
- See the Battery section below for further details.
