OVERVIEW OF VIDEO TELEMETRY PACKAGE

 

DR ROCKET’S™ VIDEO TELEMETRY PAYLOAD

Dr Rocket Inc. opens a new door for the high power rocket enthusiast. We have developed a nose cone video telemetry computer package. The basic system includes

  1. A color board video camera with NTSC out-put user to determine viewing plane.
  2. An on board computer that is capable of recording velocity, acceleration and temperature in a memory module and also displaying that same data on the video screen as an overlay.
  3. With a DELTA transmitter and one audio channel and HPA the video picture with its data is transmitted back to a receiving station. The Whole flight and its data can be recorded on videotape. You will have to have HAM licenses to operate the transmitter. The above includes a one year membership to HATS.
  4. This system will also include a programmable Flight timer /Actuator. This will be tied to a fire circuit to allow for a back up deployment charge or any other timed event.
  5. The system will also include an on board radio controlled link tied to a fire circuit. This will allow the user to enter a DTMF code on a transmitting device (currently a 2M receiver) that will control an onboard function such as drogue or main chute back up deployment.

Note: All Items will be available early spring. The basic video package is available now.  This item is made to fit the modular rocket system.  It can be custom fitted to the users needs.  Please call the doctor to discuss the cost which will be based on the design modifications necessary to fit your needs.
