Hi Jim! I thought I'd seen that launcher design before... I never clued in to this being your team ! Great job.

You've got me looking around for the a place that sells the pressure transducer now, as I'm pretty sure we've got one in the shop, but if it isn't COTS any more, then I guess that is where it is going to be staying. A bit of a pain, as they seem to run about $100 or so, but here's one that I found at digikey that might do the trick.

Note that I've never actually used the transducer before, so I can't say for sure that this is exactly what you need... I just remember one being in the KOP some years ago and having it sit around on the shelf and thinking hmmm.... we've got to use that one of these years.
