The goal of flight test is getting meaningful data! More often than not, data must be transmitted to a control room or ground recording station. This course provides an essential overview of aerospace flight telemetry ground stations, followed by a presentation of actual ground station hardware. Students will see how aerospace telemetry ground stations are set up to operate in the real world, including the many factors required to successfully receive telemetry data at the ground station.
This same course has been taught in-person at many telemetry conferences and symposia, and is now offered online! Your engineering team will appreciate the engaging delivery and detailed technical material -- this is a fast paced, in-depth course. The on-demand format is perfect for continuing education and professional development, with the ability for enrolled students to engage in discussions / ask questions directly of the instructor via the Daedalus Aerospace training platform.
Enroll in this course in order to:
- Understand how telemetry data is formatted and transmitted
- Gain awareness of factors related to mission planning
- Identify considerations for data recording, display, playback, and processing
- Recognize impediments to receiving “good telemetry”
- Know how to perform periodic system checks and calibrations
Taught by telemetry industry veteran Mark McWhorter, who has been deeply involved in the design, development, production and marketing of microwave components and digital communication systems for over 35 years. He holds a BSEE Degree from the University of South Florida and has authored several papers on microwave components and communication system applications. Mr. McWhorter previously held the position of Technical Director at Honeywell Space Systems, Clearwater, FL where he was involved in the design, development, and mission operations of ground based mobile Range Safety and Telemetry Systems for launch vehicle flight test applications in Kodiak, Alaska. Currently, Mark is VP of Sales and Marketing for Lumistar, Inc. He has written many articles over the years for publications like RF Design Magazine, Microwave Journal, Microwaves and RF, and Aerospace International Test.
