Altimeters

The altimeters that will be used for the launch vehicle will be StratoLoggers, shown in Error! Reference source not found.. Throughout a flight, it can record flight data at twenty samples per second and is able to record flights up to 100,000 feet altitude. This data can also be accessed later through a connection to a computer. Two (2) altimeters, each with its own independent power supply, will be used and will connect to the main chute and drogue chute ejection charges. Figure 19 shows the set up for each altimeter system, and Table below lists the pin connections that are going to be used. The payload section will house a DDC22 altimeter, shown in the figures below, as well as a GPS. The schematic is also shown.
