Hi all! I'm starting to locate components for a possible rocket balloon space shot in the next 5 years or so. I had a few questions.
Does the telemetrum suffer from any GPS lockouts that would make it fail to record my maximum height? Generally ITAR locks you out with a max velocity or max altitude, obviously rockets would prevent this. All I really want is altitude. Is it possible to get additional uplink commands or pyro channels. I really need to air start this guy off the balloon as well as provide a nichrome wire cut down. I would also like to power up a redundant altimeter or timer. I'm willing to put this on a separate board but having to route yet another wireless tranciever would really stink. A little about me (in case you are wondering). I'm currently a software engineer at an aerospace company. I have participated in a student sounding rocket payload program. I L1 certified when I was 15 (under my dad) (that was my last flight). I have a BS in computer engineering and an MS in electrical engineering. I am a US citizen. I'm planning to start down a long journey of several test flights (L1, L2 etc) and balloon launches before I try for the ultimate space shot. My goal is to fly a small (small as possible) and low powered rocket right up to the space cut off (50-60 miles). The telemetrum has a lot of great features that will severely lighten my avionics package. Michael Stephens [email protected]
