International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / To meet challenging constraints on telemetry system weight and volume, a custom Light-Weight Instrumentation System was developed to collect vehicle environment and
dynamics on a short-duration exo-atmospheric flight test vehicle. The total telemetry
system, including electronics, sensors, batteries, and a 1 watt transmitter weighs about 1
kg. Over 80 channels of measurement, housekeeping, and telemetry system diagnostic
data are transmitted at 128 kbps. The microcontroller-based design uses the automotive
industry standard Controller Area Network to interface with and support in-flight control
functions. Operational parameters are downloaded via a standard asynchronous serial
communications interface. The basic design philosophy and functionality is described
here.
