International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / This paper presents the interim results of an effort to corroborate analytic model
predictions of the effects of rocket motor plume on telemetry signal RF propagation. When
space is available, telemetry receiving stations are purposely positioned to be outside the
region of a rocket motor's plume interaction with the RF path; therefore, little historical
data has been available to corroborate model predictions for specific rocket motor types
and altitudes. RF signal strength data was collected during the flight of HERA target
missile by White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) using a transportable telemetry receiving
site specifically positioned to be within the rocket plume region of influence at
intermediate altitudes. The collected data was analyzed and compared to an RF plume
attenuation model developed for pre-mission predictions. This work was directed by the
US Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA)/ Kwajalein Missile Range (KMR) Safety Division.
