OPTIMUM PRESENTATION OF SATELLITE TELEMETRY DURING SATELLITE ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Abstract

Telemetry data collected during the several months of satellite acceptance testing are voluminous. These test data should be presented in an optimum fashion to facilitate thorough review, leading to high confidence in the quality of the satellite prior to launch. This paper defines various telemetry data types, discusses an optimum method for presentation of each, and summarizes an actual application of these principles. Comparison with earlier methods is included.
