Engineering and Instrumentation Support of the AFGL (Air Force Geophysics Laboratory) Rocket Research Program.

Abstract

The Physical Science Laboratory (PSL) of New Mexico State University provided technical support to AFGL over a four year period in the testing, firing, and collection of telemetry data involving sounding rocket payloads. In addition PSL provided software system analysis in support of the CIRRIS project and designed specialized hardware for telemetry ground systems. The hardware included a PCM Bit Synchronizer, PCM Decommutator, and a Portable PCM Ground Station. Software was developed for the system which PSL designed, assembled, and tested. Keywords: Telemetry Systems, Bit Synchronizer, Decommutator, Computer Software, Computer Systems.
