GPS RADIOSONDE: MIGHTY MIDGET OF THE MODERN RANGEMay, Linda R. 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2007 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Third Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2007 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Wallops Flight Facility is NASA’s principal site for management and implementation of
suborbital research programs. Recently, WFF resumed its successful satellite-launching history
without sacrificing its culture of being low-cost and responsive. Part of what made this possible
is the GPS radiosonde. During recent successful Minotaur I launches, this tiny instrument
provided upper-air observations that were used in six categories of analysis necessary for such
launches: toxics, blast, winds aloft, debris, weather and forecasting, and post-flight. In addition,
the GPS radiosonde has reduced costs associated with Wind Weighting at Wallops, and is used
in numerous range research projects.
