Telemetry refers to the process of remotely measuring and collecting data from aerospace vehicles or other objects, such as aircraft, rockets, satellites, or spacecraft. This data is typically collected using sensors and transmitted to a ground station or other remote location for analysis and monitoring.
Telemetry is used to monitor a wide range of parameters, including the performance of the vehicle or object, its position, velocity, attitude, and various other operational and environmental conditions. It can also be used to transmit control signals to the vehicle or object to adjust its behavior or operation.
Telemetry plays a crucial role in the design, development, testing, and operation of aerospace systems, as it allows engineers and operators to gather real-time data on the performance of these systems and make informed decisions about their operation. It is also used extensively in research and development, as it allows researchers to gather data on the performance of new technologies and materials under various conditions.
