Telemetering in the space program of the 1970's.

Brief review of the history of telemetering since the end of World War II, and discussion of telemetering needs and trends of the 1970's and 1980's. The shift in emphasis from quantity of flight equipments having relatively short lifetimes to quality of flight equipments having very long lifetimes is shown to characterize the main change from the 1960's to the 1970's in telemetering needs. Looking to the 1980's, the possibility is envisioned of the establishment of orbiting space stations capable of generating 1 to 10 trillion digital bits per day.

An Air-flow-direction Pickup Suitable for Telemetering Use on Pilotless Aircraft

A free-swiveling vane-type pickup for measuring air flow direction in both the angle-of-attack and angle-of-sideslip directions is described. The device, which is intended to telemeter flow direction from pilotless aircraft, has variable-inductance outputs suitable for use in the 100 to 200 kcps subcarrier frequency range of the NACA FM-AM telemetering system. Preliminary test results indicate that it can also be adapted for use with the audio subcarrier frequencies of the Research and Development Board standard FM-FM telemetering system. Test results are presented which indicate that the pickup is aerodynamically stable and has an accuracy, obtained from a bench calibration, of better than 0.3 degrees under conditions including acceleration up to 20g in any direction, Mach numbers from 0.5 to 2.8, and dynamic pressures up to at least 65 psi. Equations and curves which can be used to obtain flow direction at the center of gravity of a maneuvering model are presented.

Miniature bioelectric device accurately measures and telemeters temperature

Miniature micropower solid-state circuit measures and telemeters the body temperature of laboratory animals over periods up to two years. The circuit employs a thermistor as a temperature sensing element and an fm transmitter. It is constructed from conventional discrete components or integrated circuits.

An Air-flow-direction Pickup Suitable for Telemetering Use on Pilotless Aircraft

A vane-type air-flow-direction pickup is described which is suitable for telemetering angle-of-attack and angle-of-sideslip data from rocket-propelled pilotless aircraft models. Test results which are presented show that the device performs well under high accelerations and is stable throughout a Mach number rage from subsonic to above a Mach number of 2.5.
