Telemetry Planning Improves System Reliability

Abstract

Increased concerns for reducing cost and improving reliability in Telemetry systems have made proper evaluation and simulation of a proposed test of utmost importance. Using computer programs developed for planning analysis, a planner may review a proposed test and devise a support plan. This plan will provide the best RF tracking and receiving results quickly and accurately. Pre-mission simulation of Telemetry systems verifies the plan and minimizes possibilities of mission data loss. This paper will explore how a Telemetry Planner can improve on overall data collection of telemetry by utilizing computer programs and performing pre-mission testing.
