SATELLITE INSTRUMENTATION PROCESSOR SYSTEM.

Abstract

In an effort to circumvent the difficulties and effort involved in reducing and processing the telemetry data from a broad class of differing space vehicles, and Analysis and Simulation Branch (CRMCA) of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory (AFCRL) at L. G. Hanscom Field, Bedford, Massachusetts, has been engaged in the development of a Satellite Data Reduction Processor System (SADAR) (as described in AFCRL-67-0561) to provide a general and flexible computer programming system capable of handling the raw data from diverse vehicles. This report discusses the application of the SADAR system to the raw telemetry data from ten various space vehicles. The success realized in approaching the problem with a general solution in mind, as well as the workability of the SADAR system model, as applied to specific cases, is demonstrated herein. (Author)
