We build and field instrumentation and telemetry for use on space reentry
vehicles for both DOE and DoD programs. These systems measure the
operation of the reentry vehicle subsystems as well as the dynamic performance
and environmental parameters such as temperatures.
This work consists of instrumenting very light weight (a few kilograms) objects
to heavy weight (100's of kilograms) objects.
We design, build, test, and field instrumentation and telemetry systems and
also recover the data from these systems with data being our final product. The
systems are based on commercial components when available and Sandia
designed components as needed. The complete implementation time of one of
these systems from concept to return of data is from a few months to a couple
of years.
We have fielded over 60 rocket payloads in the last 30 years for the DoD and in
DOE exploratory systems work. Many of the current payloads have five to ten
instrumented flight objects.
