Instrumentation, Control and Communication Systems for Sounding Rockets and Shuttle-Borne Experiments

Abstract

This report deals with the design, development, fabrication, analysis and field support of signal processing, control systems and telemetry systems for space vehicles. Sounding rocket programs discussed include BEAR, COLDR, LIFE AND SPEAR I. Shuttle-borne programs include IMPS, IBSS/CIV and GAS/VIPER. Brief studies were made of airborne optical disk recording systems and packet telemetry. A telemetry system for vibration and shock testing and electro- mechanical release systems were also developed. PL (formerly GL) scientists were provided consultation and assistance in monitoring the EXCEDE-III and SPIRIT-II program.
