Considerations of Utilizing Telemetry and GPS System in Sounding Rockets

Abstract

Utilization of the GPS and telemetry systems in sounding rockets are described in this paper. The GPS system is composed of a GPS receiver and its special antennas for this mission. Telemetry system consists of data transmitter, data receiver, and antennas. Each system undergoes some tests to being verified for accurate performance in flight situation after design and fabrication. These tests are also explained in this paper.
